Description
Morpeth Station is a railway station built in 1847 by John Green for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. Additional canopies were added around 1890, likely following designs similar to those at Whittingham Station and Callaly Castle Stables. The station is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar detailing and has a Welsh slate roof, built in a Tudor style with a U-shaped plan, featuring a central section flanked by wings.
The central section comprises a recessed area with a Tudor-arched doorway on the left side and platform access on the right. Above are two-light windows set within gabled half-dormers. Projecting, cross-gabled bays define the outer edges. To the right of the centre section are three large pointed-arched windows on the ground floor, with a canted oriel window above. To the left are three-light mullioned windows. The roof has a steep pitch, ridged coping, kneelers with ball finials, and low octagonal ridge stacks.
The detailing on the wings is comparable to the central section.
The platform side features glazed canopies with elaborate ironwork, including stars of David in the spandrels. A platform extension to the east has a similar canopy supported by cast-iron columns. A ceramic railway map dating from around 1910 is affixed to a wall within the station.
