Summary

[edit]
Description Designed by Francis Thompson and "the earliest surviving railway hotel built [in conjunction] with a station" according to The buildings of England: Derbyshire (2nd edn., corrected reprint, 1979), p.176, which dates the building to 1840, although the <a href="http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1230227" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">list description</a> says 1842. The modern portico replaces a somewhat art deco entrance, shown in a photograph in Country Life, 8 Sept. 1983, p.630; an 1843 depiction of the station and hotel accompanying the same article suggests that there was originally no entrance on this side (which faces the station), accounting for the absence of any other central emphasis; it appears that the original entrance to the hotel was round the corner in Midland Road, between the two wings of the building.
