Description

The former Goods Station Warehouse, located on Pottery Lane, was built around 1910 and designed by William Bell for the North Eastern Railway Company, with engineering by LG Mouchel of Hennebique. This building features a simplified Classical style and is constructed using patent ferro-concrete with a steel-framed roof that includes glazed strips and a boarded rear gable.

The exterior of the warehouse is three storeys high and has a total of 14 windows. The north-east front facing Forth Banks boasts a full-width pediment with four panels, which are defined by wide shallow pilasters. There is a cornice on the first floor and a top entablature. A renewed metal roller shutter provides access to a vehicle entrance on the right, which is topped by a flat lintel and a wide overlight. Above this entrance, a small three-light window features a slightly projecting sill and lintel. The ground floor has six-light windows, while the first floor has six-light windows below and three-light windows above a concrete transom. The top floor also has six-light windows. The pediment is surrounded by a wide frame that merges with a similar frame around a central slatted oeil-de-boeuf. The roof is half hipped at the rear and includes full-length lights and a boarded gablet.

The left return to Pottery Lane mirrors the main façade's style and has 14 windows. The right side features six windows over three storeys, while the left side has eight windows over two storeys. The rear elevation, which is only partially visible, displays four arches at the upper level with stone imposts and keystones, although the shared pier from the central pair has been removed. The north-west wing of the building is two storeys high and has two windows, constructed with similar materials and featuring a raised corrugated-iron roof structure of unknown function. The interior has not been inspected.
