The station booking office roof has slate tiles...these replaced the original pantiles in 1892.  When the station was restored in 1985 the roof was restored with original style pantiles. The state of the other building could just be repairs whilst slating the roof, remember the buildings were over 50 years old when this was done.

The  trackwork is also interesting , as although its standard gauge it's still using ex broad gauge components. Originally the lines through here would have been mixed gauge,  that is both broad gauge and standard gauge. The broad gauge rails would have been removed in 1892, leaving the larger than usual gap between the running lines.     Also no footbridge.   The wagon on the left of the photo has a white painted diamond, this was an illiteracy symbol used by the London and North Western railway. The chap leaning next to it appears to be the Station Master Mr Paul and his small daughter.
