The grand frontage of Market Harborough station is seen at night taken as a time exposure utilising Graham's Velbon tripod. The station is Grade II listed and is the second station constructed in 1884 replacing the far simpler LNWR station built in 1850. The building was constructed by Parnell and Sons of Rugby designed by the esteemed architect John Livock. It cannot be seen clearly in this photograph but the building sits within a triangle of lines somewhat hemmed in as both are elevated. The line to the right is the Midland line to and from St. Pancras with the former line to the left being the now closed LNWR cross-country route to Northampton. At the time of our visit in 1980, this line was still open and in sporadic use for freight. It would take another forty one years before I would stand in a similar spot to this and take a daylight photograph of this fine structure, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30017882627/x5-frontage-market-harborough-station
