It has been said that Francis Thompson's best work was on the North Midland Railway, between Derby and Leeds. The only example still surviving is at Wingfield. Built in 1840,it is a single storey ashlar building in Georgian style with overhanging eaves. The station name was carved in gilt lettering on the facade, around an ornamental clock. It was closed in 1967 and is in poor condition. Christian Barman, who wrote one of the first studies of railway architecture, called it 'the most perfect of all station houses'.
