Description
Lime Street Station is a railway shed and facade that began construction in 1867 by Francis Stevenson and William Baker, with an extension added to the south between 1874 and 1879. The original section features a long glass roof with a graceful curve, spanning 219 feet and supported by double Doric columns made of iron. The later section is supported by square piers and has a span of 186 feet. The facade facing Lime Street is constructed of stone, featuring a Tuscan pilaster, round-arched openings with architraves and keystones. The entrance on Skelhorne Street includes Tuscan columns with dosserets and arch braces that support a cornice, which may have been designed by Foster in 1836.
