This blue commemorative plaque records: Grange-Over-Sands Station. The Ulverstone & Lancaster Railway was opened through the first station on this site on 27th August 1857: the first passenger train ran on 1st September. The Furness Railway, having absorbed the U&LR in 1862, commissioned the architect Edward Graham Paley of Lancaster to design the present station, which was built in 1864-72. The station is listed Grade II and stands in a Conservation Area. It was restored in 1997/98. Recorded plaque organisation: Grange Civic Society.
