The halt had two platforms constructed of timber, and was located approximately 100 yard north of Lawton Drive, or half a mile north of the lengthy Bulwell Viaduct which spanned the Leen Valley.Bulwell Hall Halt on surveyor's plans of GCR

Present day

No trace of the halt remains today, however a footpath following the railway's trackbed through the site is extant.
