For members who, like me, are interested in the LDECR, another fine example of this architecture is to be found at Clifton-on-Trent. Put NCCE004005 into your search engine for a lovely 1955 shot of Clifton Station showing another pair of Railway Cottages behind. This is where my uncle, Henry Beasant's eldest son, was born in 1898.

Hello from a new member.

I hope anyone who was busy on this thread in 2010 is still watching because I have uploaded a photograph of Railway Cottages near Pyewipe Junction taken just before they were demolished.

My grandfather Henry Edmund Beasant was employed by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway as a signalman between 1897 and 1906. In July 1898 he worked at Clifton-on-Trent and his first child was born in South Clifton. His second child was born at Pyewipe/Skellingthorpe in 1899 and finally, in the 1901 census, he was living at Railway Cottages near Bolsover, Chesterfield. According to the GCRS, the cottages along this line were all built to a standard design and this is evident from the attached photographs. I am pretty confident that Henry also lived in the Railway Cottages near Pyewipe Junction in 1899 and I shall be able to confirm this when get the birth certificate.
