Introduction
This collection comprises images, reports and site records from a Level 3 Historic Building Survey undertaken by Mel Morris Conservation August to December 2020 at Wingfield Station, which is a redundant railway station located off Holme Lane, South Wingfield, Derbyshire.
Wingfield Station was last used as a railway station in 1967 and has had no active use from 1979 to the present day. The building has continued to deteriorate and despite some limited works of repair, the building is now in a very poor and critical condition.
Recording work started in April 2020 and involved a series of accompanied visits to the building during the late spring and summer of 2020. At that time, the building was little understood and there had been no investigation of fabric and limited site photography. The work aimed to provide comprehensive coverage of the building, in a rapid response, given the extent of deterioration of the roof and the dangerous and deteriorating condition of the building. In addition to the site photography, the record was accompanied by a full written building inventory.
The Level 3 Survey Report comprises a systematic account of the building’s origins, development and use and an account of the evidence on which the analyses is based, allowing the validity of the record to be re-examined in detail. It also includes drawn and photographic records. The photographic collection records original details and any subsequent phases of work, including the alterations carried out over the life of the building. The record is accompanied by a detailed measured survey of plans, elevations and sections of both the Station and the adjacent Railway Goods Warehouse. This includes a topographical survey of the immediate surroundings of the building and all land within the ownership boundary.
