Hampton - Derby Junction: lnwrhiaj707c

This close up of image 'lnwrhiaj707' showing the original B&DJR station building with the sign 'Derby Junction' displayed above the door to the station office and waiting room. The use of an bay window for the station office would allow station staff to view the platform and approaching trains an occasional feature also found at Kenilworth station (see image 'lnwrk150c'). The number of passengers is surprising given the fact that the number of trains timetabled at this time were few and far between. Looking through the window is at least one member of the station staff. Whilst the passengers are in general dressed in their "Sunday Best" the man on the left appears to be wearing a more country apparel.
