Knaresborough

The present station at Knaresborough replaced an earlier one that was built in 1851. The later structure was designed by the architect Thomas Prosser and was built in 1866 - it is now classified as a listed building of Grade II status. the design is quite characteristic off the architecture of the North Eastern Railway of the period. In this particular case the structure is somewhat unusually executed in white brick with segmental-arched door and window openings and, at one end, a bay window surmounted by a frilly valance along the eaves. the station buildings were extended at the eastern end in 1892. Although the station is now un-manned, a variety of non-railway businesses now occupy the building, which thankfully retains some of its original internal features.
