Description
The former Stationmaster's House and main Railway Station building at Helsby Station was constructed in 1863 for the Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction Railway Company. This building, now used as an office, is made of coursed rock-faced red sandstone and features grey slate roofs. It has a cross-gable design with a right wing, presenting a two-storey house and a single-storey wing on the left, showcasing Jacobethan architectural style. The building includes shaped gables and an added half-glazed porch with a four-panel door located at the corner of the cross-wing. The original station door and windows have been blocked, while the remaining mullioned windows include some that are shoulder-arched. There are three diminishing chimneys. The front facing the platform is designed similarly to the forecourt front. Additionally, there is a wing-wall to the forecourt, along with two cast iron columns featuring raised strapwork, and a wing-wall to the platform that once supported canopies, which have since been removed.
