  1. There's drawings of Shottle station building (the next station south) in 'The Wirksworth Branch' by Howard Sprenger (The Oakwood Press) P.22.  Also in 'Modelling Branch Lines A guide for Railway Modellers' by David Wright (The Crowood Press) page 167.  He measured up the building as it is today.  I suspect that would be closer to Idridgehay than Wirksworth.  Both books have plans of all four stations on the Wirksworth Branch, with the former having several drawings of Wirksworth station's major structures.  The latter has an artists impression of Hazlewood Station.

     

    I would argue that 'A single-platform wayside station on a single-track branch' isn't untypical of the Midland.  Even with my little knowledge of the system, sticking to Derbyshire, off the top of my head I can think of several stations on the Doe Lea branch and the Crosshill and Codnor station.
