Stone pots

Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust has restored the old station building at Wingfield on the route of the North Midland Railway which opened a line from Derby to Leeds in 1840. The station building was designed in the Grecian style by the architect Francis Edward Thompson and is a remarkable survivor from the very earliest days of the railways. The restoration included renewal of some of the splendid chimneypots which were made from local Ashover gritstone.
