Description
The west retaining wall of Stockton Railway Station was built in 1893 by William Bell for the North Eastern Railway Company. It is constructed of red brick, featuring blue brick and ashlar dressings. The wall has chamfered ashlar plinths, a blue brick impost band, dentillated red brick eaves, and an ashlar cornice. It is a high wall with square terminating piers that have moulded ashlar caps. The design includes pilasters and irregular pairs of round arched windows with moulded keystones. Originally, this wall was connected to the rest of the station to the east by a large iron roof, which was removed in 1978.
