Cockermouth station looking west in April 1972. The island platform (left) has lost its building but the stanchions and frame for the running-in nameboard are still in place. The commodious main building on the up (right) platform stands derelict. Station Road bridge is structurally unsound and has
been propped up. Photo by John Mann 
The fine station building at Cockermouth is derelict on this eastward view in April 1972. It is regrettable that no use has been found for such a noble structure. The frame for the nameboard remains on the wall. The island platform building has been razed.

Looking south down the former approach road towards the sit of Cockermouith station in May 2018. The Cumbria Fire and Rescue Headquarters (left) and Cockermouth fire station - built in 2002 (right) occupy the site of the station. The whole site has now been sold for redevelopment. The HQ building closed in 2012 and the large orange board on it says 'For Sale 3.8 acre development site'. The fire station remains open for now.
