Description

The east platform wall at the former Bakewell Railway Station is a railway station platform wall built between 1861 and 1862 by Edward Walker for the Midland Railway. It is constructed from deeply-coursed dressed sandstone and features a six-bay wall with blind arcading that once supported a glazed ridge and furrow canopy. The wall includes plain pilasters connected by an ashlar band below moulded segmental arches. There is a central doorway in bay 2, along with a blocked window and door in bay 4. The wall has a coped parapet that slopes down at each end, and a stack rises from a lean-to office located behind bays 3 and 4. The railway line opened on 1st August 1862 following the Midland Railway (Rowsley and Buxton) Act of 25th May 1860 and was closed in 1967. This wall is part of the railway complex at the former Bakewell Railway Station.
