In loving memory of John Edmund Bull who sadly passed away on 13th July 2019. John was born on 25th June 1946 in a cottage in Mansfield, the youngest of 3 brothers Derek and Bryan Bull.

Whilst on family holidays to Norfolk his passion for narrow gauge railways grew and in 1995 he achieved his dream in running Markeaton Park Light Railway with family, friends and volunteers.

John loved watching winter sports especially ladies figure skating and was also a lover of historical war films and loud music!
John always had time for people, giving them opportunities and sharing his dream at the railway. He also loved problem solving. He was a loving and kind brother, father and grandfather and is missed so so much.
