Former North Eastern Railway Goods Station

The former North Eastern Railway Goods Station, now a railway museum, was built between 1875 and 1877 and features minor alterations from the late 20th century. It was designed by Benjamin Burleigh for the Great Northern Railway Company. The building consists of a two-storey office block with single-storey goods sheds located behind it. It is constructed of red brick with white brick and ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs on the office block and steel sheeting on the sheds.

The office block showcases a blue and white brick impost band, a projecting first-floor cill band, and a deeply moulded brick cornice. The main northeast facade includes nine windows and features a central entrance projection with two storeys and two windows. The entrance consists of a central round-headed doorway with a deeply moulded brick doorcase, double doors with octagonal panels, and a tall, two-light fanlight above. Access to this entrance is via a double flight of steps adorned with an ornate iron balustrade. Above the entrance are two segmental-headed sash windows, flanked by four round-headed windows on each side. The left side has margin-light windows, while the right side features sashes. Above these are four smaller segmental-headed sashes, each with a moulded lower panel. The side facades each have four windows with similar designs.

The goods sheds are characterized by giant brick pilasters and a deeply moulded brick cornice. On either side of the office block, there are wide segmental arches with ashlar impost blocks, keystones, and hood moulds. The sides of the sheds have eleven bays defined by pilasters, with two symmetrically placed entrance arches at bays four and eight. The rear facade features four main gables, various large and small segmental entrance arches, and a small central single projection with a slate roof and irregular fenestration.
