What is recorded here

This black commemorative plaque records: The Midland Railway built Kettering Station in 1857: the original building, on Platform 1, was designed by Charles Henry Driver. In 1879 Platforms 2 to 4 were built with canopies in Driver's style. Driver's original building was replaced by the present structure, designed by Charles Trubshaw, in 1895. The station is Listed Grade II and the canopies were restored in 2021.

Charles Henry Driver was a notable railway architect who designed Kettering Railway Station's original building in 1857; his style influenced subsequent platform canopies built in 1879. Charles Trubshaw, another significant architect, redesigned the main station structure in 1895, contributing to the station’s historical and architectural importance.
