Peak Forest

Collected date 18/09/18

We encountered Peak Forest station by accident, cycling between Dove Holes and Hope. It's now just a depot for the nearby quarry, but the old station building still survives as offices for the railway.

The front of the station building, visible from a small access road:

Peak Forest front

A forbidding gate warns trainspotters away:

Peak Forest - No Trainspotters allowed beyond this point. Depot under surveillance

Nevertheless we can get a closer view of some of the front:

Platforms can just about be seen in the undergrowth:

Just north of the station a bridge crosses the line, giving these views of the rear of the station building:

Just visible with a bit of zoom is the Peak Forest South signalbox:

Looking north from the bridge we can see the quarry:
