The resoration is part of a broader initiative to celebrate the station's rich heritage, engaging the community and volunteers in preserving a significant piece of local history.
The project will enable local people and visitors alike to connect with the station's rich past, from its bustling haydays until its closure in 1967.
The restoration is part of a two-year heritage project due to be completed in February 2026.
