Some historic pictures of the water tower:
1. Samuel Waite Johnson, the Midland Railway's locomotive superintendent whose signature appears on the water tower plans dated 1874
2. Unknown date but appears to be some time after disposal by British Rail
3. ? 1960s showing coal merchants cabins (one a railway body), gated station driveway and well tended gardens. This view has been restored with the removal of trees during December 2010.
4. ? 1950s. A goods wagon rests against the buffer stop at the end of the sidings.
