Mid 1830's, probably by G T Andrews. The platforms are backed by high ashlar
walls with copings, stone buttress piers and outer faces. Originally, perhaps,
a timber roof over the line. That backing West platform has 9 large, symmetrically-spaced
camber arched windows, and door, flush stone voussoirs. Close-set glazing bars.
The East platform wall has segmental-arched throughway leading to road. A similar
window to West platform wall and 2 sash windows and 2 doors into the Station
House. This is a single-storey ashlar building set against end platform wall
with a long frontage to the road. Plain plinth. Low pitch hipped slate roof
with deep overhanging eaves, 2 corniced. chimney stacks. 7 windows, recessed
sashes, glazing bars. The throughway from platform has a large segmental-arched
entrance on the left of this front, a flight of steps inside up to platform level
with double panelled doors across. Office door in centre of front set back up
steps with 2 x 3 pane fanlight. Ashlar screen walls extend each side of front.
