By this, I assume you meant Staveley Town, which was renamed Staveley Central in 1950. However this station is on the Great Central Railway Chesterfield loop line and as such, is not a station on the North Midland Railway, whose line we are currently following.

Therefore after Eckington and Renishaw, I will say....

Barrow Hill and Staveley Works

Barrow Hill was named Staveley until 1900

Whittington

I was under the impression that was the case when I stated "Staveley"
In 1900 it was renamed "Barrow Hill & Staveley Works" and renamed again in 1951 to just "Barrow Hill" before it closed in 1954.
So I thought it was "Staveley" originally.

I do apologise for that matter stated in the posting above. This line does indeed have its fair share of re-named stations.

No apology necessary - it is confusing round here!

I gather this next station was opened as "Wingfield", then was renamed to "Wingfield[Alfreton]", then "Wingfield for Alfreton" and then again back to
Wingfield
