The former frontage of New Holland Town station is seen

now in a pretty sorry state with all access now via the platform end. The former car park at the front is now grassed over and used for storage as seen here. Notice the hole in the stonework above the entrance that would once have housed a station clock. The rather grand station was opened by the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway in 1848 but was to close completely just a week after this photograph was taken. Unfortunately, it did not survive and was demolished with the site now occupied by industrial premises.
