Description
Railway Cottages are a pair of houses built as railway crossing-keepers' cottages in the mid-19th century, probably by G T Andrews. They are constructed of brown brick with red gauged brick dressings and feature timber porches. The cottages have slate roofs and are two storeys high, consisting of four bays arranged as a central two-bay range with separately roofed crosswings. Each cottage has two side entries beneath identical timber glazed lean-to porches with four-panel doors. On the ground floor, there are sash windows with sills and glazing bars, set under slightly cambered gauged brick arches. The first floor has similar, smaller windows. The cottages have deep oversailing eaves and twin axial flues with strainer arches on either side, along with a single axial flue in the center. These houses are nearly identical to others built for the same purpose in Pocklington.
