History

The first part of Station Road was built in conjunction with the opening of Beeston railway station in 1839. It ran north from the station to form a junction with Queen’s Road.

Queen Victoria's jester, W. F. Wallett lived in the cottage which he had built to the designs of the architect William Arthur Heazell at 220 Station Road from 1877 until his death in 1892

In 1904-05, Beeston Urban District Council undertook improvement and widening works on Brown Lane (which ran from High Road to Middle Street). Brown Lane South (which ran to the junction with Nether Street), and with Victoria Avenue (constructed in the 1890s from the junction with Nether Street to Queens Road), they were all renamed Station Street.
