The Buxton Railway station was a popular hub for transportation for many years and was an important part of daily life for many people.This is a colored pencil drawing by artist Lyndon Barton of Buxtonian descent. Here is a description of the landmark from the artist:
Buxton Railway Station
Not only was this station centrally located in the village, it was also central to the business district, since many people used the train for transportation to and from school, business, and pleasure trips (i.e. excursions). It was also a rallying point for villagers of all ages who regularly assembled in that area either to greet or send off visitors, or simply to socialize. This station was dismantled in the 1970's.
