Summary
| Description |
English: South Wingfield Station [2] Or what remains of it. The Victorian Society have issued a list of the ten most threatened heritage structures in England and Wales. A Grade II Listed building,the railway station was built by the North Midland Railway,designed by Francis Thompson.The line on which it stands runs from Ambergate, to the south, north to Chesterfield.The station was closed in 1967. "It has been said that Francis Thompson's best work was on the North Midland Railway, between Derby and Leeds. The only example still surviving is at Wingfield. Built in 1840,it is a single storey ashlar building in Georgian style with overhanging eaves. The station name was carved in gilt lettering on the facade, around an ornamental clock(now absent). It was closed in 1967 and is in poor condition. Christian Barman, who wrote one of the first studies of railway architecture, called it 'the most perfect of all station houses'." (From "Our Transport Heritage"). |
