Looking from the down platform towards Camp Hill with the main station building on the up platform on the right

Looking from the down platform towards Camp Hill with the main station building on the up platform on the right circa 1908. The station was built on an embankment and,as was the policy with most railway companies in the British Isles, the Midland Railway built their station - including buildings - using timber. This material was obviously significantly lighter than brick or stone and consequently would not require deep and expensive foundations.
