“Then the real planning for what community and social use will be appropriate for this splendid example of railway architecture will begin.”

The aim of the renovation project is to restore the building to its original state as much as possible.

The Station Partnership is appealing for anyone with any pictures of the building in its original state to get in touch by calling 01422 885154.
