Stamford station from the eastern end looks superb in the early morning summer sun. We spent a little time at the delightful station that was, being a Sunday morning, particularly quiet. The superb station building, built in a mock Tudor style, was designed by the celebrated architect Sancton Wood (1814-1886). It is said that he took his inspiration from the nearby Burghley House of horse trial fame. Notice Graham's trusty Austin 1100 parked up at the far western end of the station high on a loading ramp!
