Cromford Station, Derbyshire
Cromford Station close to Cromford Mill, Masson Mills, and Cromford Canal is a delight and the striking waiting room has been converted into a holiday cottage.
Waiting Room
History
Cromford Station lay on the line from Derby via Matlock to Buxton, services on which were severely cut by the Beeching Report of 1963. The line is now operated by East Midlands Trains with services from Nottingham to Matlock (via Derby).
The bridge connecting the platforms at the station
The waiting room gradually fell into disuse and has been painstakingly restored as holiday accommodation.
The stone building dates from the 1860s and was designed by GH Stokes in a French Chateau style. The waiting room was probably the original station building and became a waiting room upon the completion of a new station in 1874.
Signs at the station
The building features on the cover of the record Some Might Say by Oasis. Local buses stop at Lea Road just outside the station.
