Description

The Former Morecambe Promenade Station main building is a railway station that opened in 1907. It was constructed using walling stone and dressings transferred from an earlier Midland Railway station in Northumberland Street, which was built in the 1870s. The building is possibly designed by E G Paley and features squared coursed sandstone with sandstone dressings and steep blue slate roofs accented with two horizontal green slate bands.

The design includes a central two-storey entrance block that connects to gabled pavilions through six-bay links. These links have Lombard friezes below the eaves and a continuous drip mould above the mullioned windows and square-headed doorways. Each pavilion has windows with three pointed lights and foiled circular windows set within the coped gables. The central block features glazed doorways on the ground floor, pointed windows on the first floor, and a clock face set within a stone gable that resembles a dormer.

In front of the main block is a large porte-cochere with a pitched roof supported by iron trusses, which is partly glazed and partly slated, resting on four cast-iron columns. The building has several chimneys: two on the left-hand link, one on each gable of the central block, one on the right-hand link, and one to the right of the right-hand pavilion, all topped with dressed stone caps. The side elevations feature Tudor-arched gateways that lead to the central concourse and connect the front building to two additional pavilions styled similarly.

Inside, the front range includes decorative glazed tiling, while the large concourse area has a stone-flagged floor and a partly-glazed roof supported by iron or steel lattice trusses.
