Wallgate Station Entrance Block

Wallgate Station entrance block is a railway station booking hall and office block built in 1896 by Henry Shelmerdine, replacing the original station from 1848. The building is constructed of red brick with red sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. It features a porte-cochere made of cast-iron and glass. The structure has an irregular plan that runs parallel to the street and is set back from it, with a front canopy and a prominent porte-cochere that spans a cobbled forecourt.

The building has two storeys and is arranged in a 2:3:2 bay configuration, with the corners canted back. The ground floor is arcaded, featuring elliptical-headed arches with linking impost bands, entrance arches in the three-bay center, and windows in the flanking wings. The first floor has mullioned windows, and the wings are topped with hipped roofs. The ground floor is protected by a five-bay canopy, from which extends a tall three-bay porte-cochere supported by cast-iron columns with arched open-work foliated brackets and a glazed roof made up of three hipped spans carried on latticed girders. This porte-cochere is a notable feature of this side of the street.
