A railway station built to serve a growing seaside resort and designed to be a miniature copy of a nearby hotel is making the most of what little sunshine there is during the dull and wet British summer. Grange-over-Sands station has ornate Victorian glass canopies at the front of the station building and above both platforms, incorporating fine filigree work and finials. The summer sunshine is flooding the station now that the glazing has been replaced and when the sun does not shine, new lighting takes over. The station opened in 1867 and was designed by EG Paley as a mini version of Grange Hotel, which he also designed and is situated across the road
