Lost Places & Forgotten Faces is an urban explorer who has visited a number of derelict and demolished sites across Derbyshire – with his most recent venture taking him to the site of an old railway station at Breadsall. These photos show what is left of the former station – which was last served by passenger trains six decades ago.
