Against a sapphire sky…

Night falls at Retford Station.

 

The Station, now Grade 2 listed was first built in 1852 as part of the “Town’s Line”, however what you see here was rebuilt in 1892 by the Great Northern Railway.

 

Serving both the ex GC Lincoln to Sheffield and the East Coast Mainline between London to Leeds, York and Scotland.

 

The window seen boarded up luckily has not been broken, it awaits repairs to a rotten frame. Beneath the ply lies a beautiful original glass panel with ornate decorations and the word’s “Booking Hall” inscribed.
