Description
Hough Green Railway Station was built in 1872 and is a single-storey structure made of brown brick with a slate roof. The building has eight bays and is designed in an H plan with cross bays. The platform canopy features a three-arched fascia adorned with dagger, trefoil, and diamond motifs within quatrefoils, supported by four cast iron columns. The station has a sandstone plinth and quoins that display bowtell moulding. The windows are slightly gothic-headed sashes arranged in pairs, set within openings that have splayed reveals, heads, and weathered sills. The original doors include panel infilling made of raking boards. The barge boards on the cross wings are intricately carved in three different designs. The roof showcases feature courses of shaped slates and stacks with elaborate offsets.
