It is located in the village of Cromford in Derbyshire, England. The station is on the Derwent Valley Line Шаблон:Convert north of Derby towards Matlock.
History
Originally known as Cromford Bridge, it was opened by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway in 1849.[2] This is one of the few stations on the line that has been preserved and is a Grade 2 listed building. It is said to have been designed by G. H. Stokes, son-in-law of Joseph Paxton. It is believed that Stokes designed Station House (built in 1855), the extremely ornate former station master's residence opposite the station on the side of the hill as well as the ornate villa style waiting room, on what was the 'up' platform. According to English Heritage,[3] this is the original station building. The present station building on the opposite (down) platform was added by the Midland Railway at a later date
Willersley Tunnel, which is Шаблон:Convert long, is situated immediately north of the station.
The disused southbound platform was used for cover of the 1995 Oasis single "Some Might Say".[4][5]
Following many years of neglect and decline, a long lease on the main station building was purchased by the Arkwright Society; the building has been restored and improved, re-opening as office space in May 2009. Station House, of which the old waiting room is a part, is now self-contained holiday accommodation.[6]
In the year from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, journeys from the station had increased by 16.88%.[7]
On 17 September 2009, taxi driver Stuart Ludlam was murdered at the station by gun fanatic Colin Cheetham.[8]
Station masters
On 18 January 1853, the station master William Lees was summoned by Joseph Wain, a clark employed by the railway at Matlock Bath, for having beaten him. It transpired that bad feeling had previously existed between the plaintiff and defendant; on 15 January 1853, they had met on the causeway between Matlock Bath and Cromford, close to the Glenorchy chapel. Both of them were on the pavement and a dispute arose between them as to the etiquette of taking the wall. Wain accused Lees of beating hum repeatedly but Lees denied it.[9] The following year William Lees left Cromford. The Derbyshire Courier of 25 November 1854[10] reported that
