Edward Wilson. Blue-brick laid in English bond with Bath-stone
dressings; hipped slate roof with parapeted eaves; 7 stacks, 6 to
ridge and 1 to rear roof slope, all with oversailing details and
pots.
PLAN: Central full-width and full-height booking hall flanked by
waiting, refreshment rooms, offices etc. on 2-floors. The
elevations have a large domestic scale and style with sash
windows.
EXTERIOR: West Elevation: 2 storeys and basement. 16 (4:1:6:1:4)
first-floor windows. Porte-cochre with ridge-and-furrow glazed
canopy on fabricated wrought-iron lattice beams supported by
cast-iron columns; ornamental timber fascia. Platform canopy on
wrought-iron supports. Stone detailing includes plinth coping;
ground-floor sill band; moulded string course over first-floor
windows and linking rusticated quoins and pilasters; moulded
eaves cornice with blocking course over centre 3-bays; door and
window surrounds. First-floor windows are 3/3 with sills and
moulded architraves; windows to central bay above the canopy are
smaller 3/6 sashes in plain reveals with sills but not
architraves. The ground-floor windows are mainly 6/6 with moulded
architraves; the 4 windows to each end bay have a moulded cornice
on ornate scrolled console brackets with shell motif under. The
central window to the centre bay has a similar bracketed cornice
over paired 6/6 sashes: The replacement fully-glazed flanking
doors to the booking-hall have similar moulded architrave and
cornice to the windows but no console brackets. The single window
to each adjacent bay has a pediment in lieu of a cornice.
Single-storey wings with concealed roofs flank the main block; 3
windows in the left-wing and 4 in the right; 6/6 and 3/3 sashes,
all in plain reveals with sills and wedge lintels. The rear walls
of the flanking wings extend above and beyond the building itself
to screen the platform beyond; the walls are pierced by
high-level lunette windows with radial, metal-framed, multi-pane
glazing; some of these windows form fanlights to gated openings
below.
Platform elevation: 2 storeys, similar to but less ornate than
road frontage with mainly 3/3 sashes to the first-floor and 6/6
to the ground-floor, all in plain reveals with sills and moulded
architraves, those to the ground-floor being in timber with
vertically boarded dado panelling below. Doors are mainly
4-panel, some with 8-pane overlights, all with moulded
architraves.
INTERIOR: little remains of the original booking hall except part
of the stone-flagged floor. Some of the offices retain plaster
cornices, picture rails, panelled reveals to door openings and
moulded architraves.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: parapet wall to approach road adjoins
canopy. Stucco over brick, central part sits on stone plinth with
stone gutter below. Pair of ast-iron lamps on parapet wall
identified as 'Revo Tipton'.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the two platforms and four lines of rails with a
span of 86 feet, were originally covered by a curved roof of
wrought-iron lattice girders and glazed on the ridge-and-furrow
principle; this was removed c1936.
