Are you certain that this is
Are you certain that this is Spondon station? It looks a lot different to other photo's you have on this site.
I have now checked carefully
I have now checked carefully my original picture and find that there is a bit missing from the picture entered on the SHS site.
On the lefthand side of the picture there is part of a station sign ending NDON and the corner of the station house.
The angle of my picture does not take in the building where the booking/parcels and goods offices were located.
After a re look I am now sure this is Spondon Station.
Hope this helps.
John
I believe the lady porters…
I believe the lady porters name was Bridget Doherty, she lived in Alvaston.
