Hale Station, West Platform Building, Canopy And Signal Box

Hale Station is a railway station building constructed in 1862 and expanded in the 1880s for the Cheshire Lines Committee. It features polychrome brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building is single-storey with five bays, and the gable is positioned at the angle of Ashley Road, which houses the signal box. The platform canopy extends three bays further to the north. Notable architectural details include a stone plinth band, an advanced central doorway with a shouldered lintel and jamb colonnettes, and four windows, each with brick arched heads, stone sills, and sash windows. The fine ironwork canopy is supported by columns with crocketed capitals and features brackets with arabesque spandrel decoration, a hipped glazed roof, and a pierced timber valance.
