Bus Station

The bus station in Seaton Carew, originally listed as a bus station and beach shelter, is a Grade II building constructed from rendered brick and reinforced concrete, all painted, with flat reinforced concrete and asphalt roofs. Designed in the Art Deco style, it features a symmetrical plan. A central clock tower projects from an adjoining single-storey utility building, which is flanked by staircases and landings. This utility building was formerly connected to a rectangular-plan shelter at the rear, which was demolished around 1993.

To the left and right of the clock tower are single-storey concave-plan passenger shelters that form a crescent shape facing The Front. The clock tower itself is a simple square shaft on a panelled pedestal, with each side featuring a tall, round-headed panel that displays a clock face above a large reeded corbel. The corners of the tower are detailed with simple, clasping, low-relief buttresses. The doorways of the utility building have flat surrounds, and the staircases and decks are adorned with steel geometric-pattern balustrades that have fluted piers on moulded corbels. The open-fronted passenger shelters include four circular shafts and responds, with slightly projecting convex-plan pavilions at their ends. The design is completed with a deep eaves cornice and a shallow parapet, along with fixed timber seating against the rear walls.
