The completion of a £2.3m restoration of a Northumberland towns listed railway station will be celebrated on Tuesday with an official opening ceremony. The Tudor-style Morpeth station was designed for the York, Newcastle and Berwick railway company by architect Benjamin Green. Benjamin and his father John were responsible for major Newcastle landmarks such as Greys Monument and the Theatre Royal. Before the 18-month restoration operation, the East Coast mainline station building, which opened in 1847, was mostly empty and suffering decline. Now a caf and modern ticket office has been created, with a guard's van-style taxi office in the station forecourt.
