Shirebrook North Railway Station - Ambiguity

Ambiguity

There have been three separate stations with "Shirebrook" in their names:

  • Shirebrook North which is the subject of this article
  • Shirebrook South, and
  • Shirebrook station which is on the Robin Hood Line.

Shirebrook South and Shirebrook North have been closed for many years. Shirebrook West closed in 1964 but reopened in 1998 as plain "Shirebrook". Shirebrook West was actually on the eastern edge of the village.

Famous quotes containing the word ambiguity:

    There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
    Thomas Reid (1710–1769)

    Legends of prediction are common throughout the whole Household of Man. Gods speak, spirits speak, computers speak. Oracular ambiguity or statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are expunged by Faith.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    Indeed, it is that ambiguity and ambivalence which often is so puzzling in women—the quality of shifting from child to woman, the seeming helplessness one moment and the utter self-reliance the next that baffle us, that seem most difficult to understand. These are the qualities that make her a mystery, the qualities that provoked Freud to complain, “What does a woman want?”
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
