Stamford Station. Opened as part of the Syston & Peterborough Railway by the Midland Railway in 1848. Designed in a Tudor-inspired style by noted railway architect Sancton Wood (1816-1886), who two years earlier had designed Dublin's Heuston, formerly Kingsbridge, Station. The weathervane on the turret still bears the initials of the Syston & Peterborough Railway. The station is Listed Grade II.
