As Climate stations are part of the official network, there's one
historic one that's easily accessible - Buxton. In the little park
behind the town hall. Norman has mentioned it a few times. I've not
been to Chatsworth House for decades but when I did go there was an
unofficial met station on the lawns just east of the house - close to
the exit. I wonder if it is still there?

Indeed. Daily data for Buxton since 1875 (and for various periods for
all manner of other places) are available at

https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/

You have to register but there's no charge.

The Buxton observing site is now surrounded (and partly overhung) by
trees that wouldn't have been there in 1875. The instrument enclosure
itself has a rather uncared for look about it.

Data from Chatsworth House Gardens are on the CEDA site for the period
1965-1974 so perhaps the instrument enclosure has gone.
