The works to the Knaresborough station canopy at the main entrance.

The 132-year-old canopy at Knaresborough station has been restored and given a new lease of life.

The canopy at the main entrance, which had been reinforced by scaffolding to protect passengers, has been repaired following work by Network Rail.

The Grade II listed structure has seen a complete roof renewal and redecoration throughout, including a fresh lick of paint in its traditional white and green colours

Robert Ellams, route engineer for Network Rail’s north and east route, said: 

“The revamped entrance has made a real difference to the station, giving it a vital upgrade whilst retaining its historic look. The crucial repair work will not only improve passenger experience, but it will also help to protect the Grade II listed building for future generations.
“I’d like to thank passengers, our partners and the community for their patience and hope they continue to enjoy the station’s connections to York, Harrogate and Leeds for years to come.”


With the refurbishment now complete, the structure matches the platform canopies which were also restored back in 2016.

The move to restore the canopy follows a £150,000 upgrade to the station roof back in 2019.

Andrew Jones, Member of Parliament for Harrogate and Knaresborough, said: 

"This is great work from Network Rail and is part of a greater programme of investment in our stations and railways. It is also an investment in our heritage as this is a Grade II listed structure
“The Network Rail team were really responsive when the Friends of Knaresborough Station approached me wanting the work completed quickly. They prioritised it and now we have a fantastic looking station with brilliant businesses on the platform to go with more and better rail services."
