Description
Norham Station is a disused railway station that includes two platforms with four lamps, the station master's house, a waiting room, an office and telegraph office, a porter's room, and a store that was formerly the base of the signal box. It was built in 1849 for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway, with the waiting room, office, and store likely added in the late 19th century. The house, platforms, and porter's room are constructed of ashlar, while the other buildings feature wood boarding and have Welsh slate roofs.
The house is designed in a Tudor style, with a single storey facing the platform and two storeys at the rear. It has two plus three bays, with the lower left section containing two boarded doors. The right section features a one-light window in the center and flanking three-light mullioned windows. The roof is gabled with two end stacks of paired, corniced shafts.
The waiting room and offices are single storey with four bays, featuring panelled doors in the second and fourth bays, and small-paned casement windows in the first and third bays. There is an original telegraph notice attached and enamel signs on the doors, and the roof is gabled.
The porter's room is separated from the office by a flight of stone steps. It is a single storey with one bay and a boarded door, and has a gabled roof with a banded end stack. The rear has two storeys with a single-storey, five-bay lean-to that includes boarded doors in the outer bays and two 12-pane and one 18-pane Yorkshire sashes, along with two 8-pane Yorkshire sashes on the first floor.
Each platform has two Victorian gas lamps, likely re-set on later concrete posts. These lamps are supported on curved iron brackets, feature the station name on the glass, have antefixae at the corners, and are topped with small onion-shaped finials.
