Hampton in Arden Station: lnwrhia689a

This close up of image "lnwrhia689" shows how compact the original 1884 Hampton in Arden station was compared to the version rebuilt at the time of electrification of the line. Through the far bridge the signal cabin controlling the original B&DJR 'Derby Junction' station can be seen with what appears to be a plume of steam from a locomotive standing in the sidings opposite.
