Eckington And Renishaw Railway Station

Eckington and Renishaw railway station is a former railway station between Eckington and Renishaw in Derbyshire, England. HistoryThe station was opened by the North Midland Railway on their "Old Road" between Chesterfield and Rotherham Masborough. The original station was of an ornate Italianate design by Francis Thompson and was replaced by a new one fourteen chains further north in 1874. It was renamed by the Midland Railway as Eckington and Renishaw in 1886 since it was near to the Renishaw Iron Company's works and there was another "Eckington" station on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway which the Midland had acquired. The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (later the Great Central Railway) subsequently opened a station on 1 June 1892 within sight of the Midland's "Eckington and Renishaw" and called their station "Eckington and Renishaw". The ex-Great Central station was renamed Renishaw Central by British Railways on 25 September 1950. The street level booking office was built on a bridge over the line with covered stairways leading down to the two platforms.
