Description
The main passenger building of Tynemouth Old Railway Station was constructed between 1846 and 1847 by John and Benjamin Green and R. Nicholson for the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company. It is designed in the Tudor style and built from sandstone ashlar, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings. The building is two storeys high with three wide bays, and includes a right wing that is one storey with three bays.
The central bay projects and features a gabled portico that leads to a three-light window, flanked by half-glazed double doors. The spandrels of the portico display the carved arms of Newcastle. Above, there is an oriel window at the peak of the gable. The outer bays have three-light ground-floor windows beneath corbelled-out gabled oriel half-dormers, while the right wing has two-light windows. All windows are stone-mullioned and currently boarded up. The gables have sloped copings on curved kneelers, and ball finials adorn the principal gables. The building also features ashlar chimneys, with the left chimney truncated, and a ridge ventilator on the wing.
Historically, the Newcastle and North Shields Railway Company, established in 1835 with its terminus in North Shields, merged with the Newcastle and Berwick Company in 1845. At the time of the survey, the building was empty and derelict.
