Butterley Station

Butterley Station is a railway station that has been converted into a museum. It was built in 1852 and restored around 1980 for the Ambergate, Nottingham Boston and Eastern Junction Railway. The building is constructed from rock-faced ashlar with flush stone dressings and quoins. It features a hipped slate roof with wide bracketed eaves and twin banded stone ridge stacks.

The station is single storey and consists of four bays, with the wider bays on either side projecting slightly. It has a chamfered plinth and a rock-faced sill band. The central doorcase includes moulded jambs and a lintel, with double half-glazed doors beneath a plain overlight. On either side of the entrance, there are semi-circular headed plain sashes with moulded quoined surrounds and bracketed sills. Each of the advanced bays also has similar paired windows with a central banded colonette. The platform elevation is designed in a similar style, with the side bays projecting further and featuring an ironwork screen at the front, which is now disused.
