Description

Ormskirk Railway Station is a railway station building, now used as workshops, likely constructed between 1846 and 1848 for the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway. The building features coursed squared sandstone and a slate roof. Its irregular plan consists of three parallel ranges of varying lengths, all under a three-span roof.

The platform facade includes a very wide former entrance with a lintel supported by a central cast-iron column. To the left of this entrance, there is a wide doorway at the end, a cross-window with a square flush mullion and transom, another doorway, and a similar cross-window. To the right, there is another similar window, which is now blocked. The rear of the building has various similar mullioned and cross-windows. The structure has undergone alterations over time.
