Former "Station Hotel", Wigton - May 2017 (1)
Also possible known as the "Railway Hotel", this building appears on the 1864 OS Map so may have been built around the time the railway reached Wigton in 1843. The hotel was acquired by the State Management Scheme on 1 August 1916, but seems to have closed after 1925 as it does on appear on the 1968 OS Map and there is no record of its sale by the Scheme.
Now a private dwelling - the tower to the right is a former windmill (see: Image] )

Station Villa and Windmill at Wigton
A view looking northeast to the windmill adjacent to the railway line at Wigton.
This was originally built as a windmill, then later converted to water power. It now houses a joinery workshop. The smaller section of Station Villa on the right was the original millers cottage which was extended with the larger section on the left when the railway arrived.
