Description

Ellesmere Port Railway Station, built around 1863, is a largely unaltered building that serves as both a railway station and a station master's house. It features coursed rock-faced red sandstone walls and coped Dutch gables topped with ball finials. The roofs are made of grey Welsh slate. The windows have cream stone chamfered reveals and casements. There are stone chimneys with tall red brick diamond flues above the eaves, which have heavy corbelled caps. The entrance has heavy 2-panel double doors and a round archway that leads to the original station entrance, which is now blocked with matching sandstone. A glazed projecting porch with a sandstone plinth is present at the station master's house, and there is a recessed platform canopy supported by a decorated cast iron column.
