East Platform at Shrub Hill Railway Station) II Railway station with attached walls and lamps. 1850-54 with later additions and alterations. Attributed by Pevsner to engineer 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.
