History

It was built in 1839 for the Midland Counties Railway, which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway. This line is now part of the Midland Main Line between Long Eaton and Derby It was at first only a temporary building in the cutting. Its first station master was a Mr. Portlock. During the building of the line it was necessary to cut through an Anglo-Saxon barrow. It may have been the scene of a massacre for many skulls were found, of people aged from 18 to 60, cloven by Danish battleaxes, some being presented to Derby Museum. A new station was built in 1871, for a time known as Borrowash for Ockbrook, it closed to passengers in 1966 and was demolished in 1994. The original station became a private house and survives today. The remains of a flight of steps to the former platform can still be made out.
