Buxton is well known for its attractive fan window (See image 63399) but this sculpture is one of a number of contributions made by Friends of Buxton Station to maintaining an attractive and interesting station environment. In partnership with local rail authorities the Friends commissioned Andy Hill to produce this artwork from materials salvaged from the nearby Buxton traction Maintenance Depot just prior to its demolition in 2016.

The imposing fan window at Buxton station on 17th March 2018. The line of the road stands on the site of the forecourt between the LNW and Midland stations. A matching window adorned the Midland side but was unfortunately demolished upon the station’s closure. Eagle-eyed observers will have spotted Stanier Class 5 45407 (running as 45157) on the viaduct in the middle distance. Top and tail with 45690 it had just returned from a very rare foray up the Hindlow Branch with RTC’s High Peak Explorer.
