jessy1692 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Evening all, seeing how the builders are are in in the oldest surving bit of Harrogate station renovating it into a pub like the York Taps, its got me wondering how it used to look, now theres a couple of pics of the pre 65 rebuild on google images but there a bit limited so im wondering if anyone on here has anything stashed away any where? Iv got all the railways around Harrogate books but the frontage does seem to be a bit elusive, just trying to gather a bit of info for that i may get round to building one day. Any info greatly appreciated. Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 James, there's an earlier picture of that frontage in an article titled 'Railways Around Harrogate' in 'Steam Days' for May 2002. It's as it was after improvements made in the 1890s. The building doesn't appear to extend any closer to the camera than the section with the arch over the street level window and the dormer window, just this side of the glass canopy. That was a parcels office, with doors and windows in the wall at right angles to the frontage, and a glass canopy projecting from that wall too. It's a long time since I was on Harrogate station - the last time I arrived there was behind a Deltic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Cheers for the info PH, ill keep looking around, think a trip to the lirbrary might be in order to look at some newspapers from 65, knowing Harrogate there will have been a great debate and maybe some pics of the demolition which could be useful. All good info for that layout ill build one day! Cheers James PS wish i could go back and get some decent trains on my trip to work, 142's &150's just arnt the same as a deltic no matter how hard you imagine....

60021 Pen-y-Ghent Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi James, Don't know if you've seen this one but there is a book "The York, Knaresborough and Harrogate Railway" by C T Goode which includes a picture of Harrogate station forecourt in horse-drawn days. It's labelled as part of the OPC collection so I guess it's copyrighted. Regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
