Description

The goods shed at Ambergate Station, built between 1838 and 1840 by Francis Thompson, is a notable example of early railway architecture. Constructed from sandstone ashlar, it features a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves. The building is single storey and consists of two bays, with clasping pilasters at the corners and a plain pilaster in the center. The main facade includes two elliptical-headed arches that contain double plank doors. There are large quoined entrances on the side walls and elliptical arched windows on the south side. Inside, the shed has hipped king post roof trusses. This structure is a significant remnant of the early railway era and is part of the North Midland Railway, which was opened in 1840, with George Stephenson as the engineer and Francis Thompson as the architect.
