Railway relics form the centrepiece of this display in Station Road, created in 2011 by the Sandy Enhancement Group with assistance from local councils, organisations and volunteers. In the background can be seen the station buildings designed in 1850 by Henry Goddard for the Great Northern Railway. Pevsner and Charles O'Brien describe these as "typically economical, yellow brick with round-arched windows." Stefan Czapski has drawn my attention to the very similar design of the Image at Algarkirk & Sutterton, well maintained in private ownership although the station saw no passengers after 1961 and the line closed completely completely in 1964, the alignment later being adopted by the A16 road. Sadly both stations have lost their original bargeboards. For a view from the other direction see Stephen McKay's Image
