Railway station, now station and nightclub. Rebuilt 1873 by
Paley and Austin for the Furness Railway. Squared coursed red
sandstone with yellow sandstone dressings, and a limestone
plinth and ground-floor sill band. Slate roofs.
Italianate style. A 2-storey block of square plan has a
4-stage clock tower at its north-east corner. A single storey
range extends towards the west parallel with the platform and
terminates with a gabled cross-wing. To the east a screen wall
extends parallel with the platform and terminates with a
disused 2-storey tower.
The 2-storey block has 3 bays facing south. Its windows are of
of 2 round-headed lights separated by engaged columns. Those
on the 1st floor are set under a flat head and have a sill
band. Those on the ground floor are set within round arches,
with a central roundel above the lights and with an impost
band. The eaves are bracketed and the central flat of the
hipped roof is surrounded by crested iron railings. The tower
has a parapet pierced with roundels, and an urn at each
corner.
The single-storey range to the west has windows of 2
flat-headed lights separated by a Tuscan pilaster, under a
round arch. To the right of a central doorway there are 3
windows, and to the left 2 windows flanking a second narrower
doorway. A monopitched glazed canopy extends across the full
width of this range. The cross-wing to the left has an oculus
below its gable. On the north side the central part of the
platform is covered by a glazed canopy carried on cast-iron
columns with decorated brackets. A similar canopy covers the
island platform to the north.
Towards the west end of the station buildings a C20
glass-walled extension to the nightclub extends onto the
platform.
