Mexborough Station And Station House

Mexborough Station and Station House is a railway station that includes a house, built in 1871 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, which later became the Great Central Railway. The building is constructed from thinly-coursed dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It consists of an elongated single-storey range that houses the parcel office, ticket office, and waiting rooms, with a two-storey house at the eastern end.

Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, ashlar quoins, chamfered window surrounds, and an eaves band. The house, located at the far right, has a rectangular single-storey bay window with three tall sash windows and a hipped roof. Above, there are two similar sash windows on the first floor beneath a gable, which features a trefoil, shaped kneelers, copings, and a shaped apex. A cross-ridge stack with six linked octagonal flues is also present. The wing set back on the right has two ground-floor sash windows, a small first-floor sash window, and an octagonal end stack.

The ticket office, located to the left of the centre of the range, has bay windows and gable details similar to the house. Adjacent to the right of the bay window is a wall monument dedicated to Great Central Railwaymen from Mexborough who lost their lives in the First World War. To the right of the ticket office is a pedestrian through passage and three tall sash windows. Beyond this is a two-bay arcaded recess with segmental stone arches supported by an octagonal pier, which forms a shelter leading to two waiting rooms. There are two ridge stacks, each with a plinth and twin flues linked by a cornice. The lower parcel office at the left end of the range features a wide doorway flanked by plain sash windows and a twin-flue stack at the junction with the parcel office.
