Rowsley 2nd station looking towards Bakewell c.1900. The signalbox was closed on 17th April 1910, with the points and signals then operated from a new Rowsley North Junction box. The small dock on the Up side later became part of the loading bay in the Express Dairy Company premises. At this time there was a 30mph speed restriction through the station due to the curvature of the track. This was raised to 45mph in later years. Photo from Stan Robertrs/Peak Rail collection
