piers, the frieze cornice and blocking course breaking forward over them. Moulded
sill course. 3 architrave surround round headed large windows with fixed glazing
bars and 2 doorways in similar surrounds, upper parts glazed as windows. The
passenger train shed, comprising platforms 3, 4 and 5, retains the original G T
Andrews roof structure, a unique survival for a station of this size. The wood
and glass roof is supported by the walls and a central row of cast-iron columns
with broad curved girders, light iron trusses carrying the roof structure across
the two aisles so formed. The two adjacent sheds covering platforms 6, 7 and 8
respectively, were probably the original Andrews goods station. Nos 6 - 7 have
a light iron truss roof structure carried on the flanking walls similar to the
passenger shed and No 8 platform has a timber king post roof also carried on
walls. On the wall of the former station buffet is a polychrome tile map of
the North Eastern Railway network circa 1903, a particularly fine example of its
kind.
