Whilst outwardly Ulverston station looks to be in good condition it is not long before one realises that it needs some urgent attention. The condition of the canopies is shocking with much glass missing and plenty of growth that will undoubtedly be weakening the structure. Interestingly, Wikipedia describes the 1873 station thus... 'The clock tower and glass awnings and supporting decorative ironwork, now extensively restored and repainted, are particularly fine.' I can see little evidence of restoration and repainting so I do not know when the entry was written.
