“一个宏伟的约克郡火车站。”
That’s how television presenter and railway historian Tim Dunn describes Huddersfield station in tonight’s episode of The Architecture the Railways Built.
This Grade I Grecian-style gem – with one of the most stunning façades on Britain’s railway – was designed by the architect James Pigott Pritchett and built by Joseph Kaye.
根据历史悠久的英格兰的说法，该站 - 建于1846年至1850年 - 被广泛地认为是Pritchett最好的新古典主义作品之一，其中包括约克公墓的建筑物。
会员组织York Civic Trust说Hudderfield Station在其网站上: “The long neo-classical façade, reminiscent of a Palladian country house, with a portico of Corinthian columns, six wide and two deep, dominates St George’s Square, creating an impressive civic space planned as the centrepiece of the Victorian ‘new town’. [Poet] John Betjeman described the station as ‘as one of the most splendid in England’.”
宏伟
据历史悠久的英格兰历史悠久的是，该站归功于Huddersfield和曼彻斯特铁路和运河公司以及曼彻斯特和利兹铁路的联合资助。

它加入Josh Fitzwilliam，里尉1846年10月9日奠定了该车站的基石。公共假期被宣布，教堂钟声整天响起。
The station partly opened in August 1847 for the commencement of services but it didn’t complete until October 1850.
It had just one platform until 1886, when the roof over the tracks finally completed. The roof’s construction has begun in 1878 but had collapsed in 1885, killing four men.
Huddersfield has some equally beautiful neighbours on St George’s Square. They include the Grade II listed Britannia Buildings, designed by Sir William Tite, whose work also includesThe Royal Exchange在伦敦市 - 在伦敦第一座楼的网站上专为贸易股。
Improvements to your journeys
我们近年来努力工作，为您在哈德斯菲尔德提供更好的车站 - 这是一个适合这种令人印象深刻的建筑。
In 2019, we and train operatorsTranspennine Express.and北火车completed a vital upgrade to extend platform two. This would allow new, longer trains with more seats to call there.
Meanwhile, we carried out platform extensions at seven stations along the Penistone line in Northern England to allow longer trains to run on the route.
