Paley and Austin blue plaque

This blue commemorative plaque records: Ulverston Railway Station. Designed by Paley & Austin, Lancaster Architects, for the Furness Railway and opened in 1874, this station replaced an earlier one, to the east, opened by the Ulverstone and Lancaster Railway in 1857. This through station had, in turn, replaced the town's original terminus station opened by the Furness Railway in 1854 on completion of its line from Barrow-in-Furness. Recorded plaque organisation: Ulverston Town Council.

Paley and Austin were prominent Lancaster-based architects known for their railway architecture; they designed Ulverston Railway Station in 1874, contributing to the Victorian era's railway expansion in Cumbria.
