词条 | Whitwick railway station |
释义 |
The building is situated close to the village's Market Place, which is essentially the centre of the village, on North Street. The trackbed between Coalville (starting at Morrisons) and Whitwick (terminating just past Whitwick Station) has been turned into a public right of way. This passes the station building and the remains of the platform which is intact, but overgrown and unkempt. The original staircase which gave passengers access from the road above to the platform was kept in use until the 1990s, however following persistent vandalism and worries over the structure's safety, it was demolished, leaving only the landing at the road entrance.[2] Whitwick Historical GroupThe group now using the station building have repainted it into its former Midland Red and Cream colours. The interior is much changed, with the downstairs rooms now being a kitchenette and dedicated computer room. The main function of this room is to help people trace their family trees with the numerous census materials available. Upstairs, the room contains microfilm and microfiche readers. As the group is largely made up of ex-local miners, it places little emphasis on the Charnwood Forest Line; there are a few photographs.
