Warkworth
One of the large Benjamin Green 'Tudorbethan' stations designed for the Newcastle and Berwick Railway and opened in 1847 was at Warkworth, Northumberland. View across the station forecourt in 2012 showing the wide steps leading up to the (now enclosed) portico of the main entrance. In addition to the station masters house, the imposing structure included a porters wing and a private waiting room used by family, friends and guests of the Duke of Northumberland. Warkworth saw its last passengers in 1958 and closed completely in 1962. The platforms have since been demolished, but the grade 2 listed building has been refurbished and is now in private ownership. For a wide view see image 40762.
