Description
The building is a station structure located on the north side of Edge Hill Station, dating from 1836. It was built for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The station is constructed from red sandstone and features channelled rustication, which is heavier on the ground floor. It stands two storeys high with six bays, including a four-bay extension that houses stairs leading to an underpass. The first three bays project forward, with the second bay projecting even further. There is a sill band on the first floor, a top frieze, and a cornice, with the cornice on the first three bays featuring modillions. A blocking course with a gable is positioned over the second bay. The windows and entrances are set within recessed ashlar reveals, and the windows are sashed, with the first-floor sashes including glazing bars. A two-faced clock projects from between the fifth and sixth bays at the first-floor level. The rear of the range is made of brick from the 1850s, with a one-storey extension to the north, and only the west return wall with an entrance remains. This station is recognized as one of the oldest railway stations in the world that is still in use.
