Dewsbury Railway Station, Entrance Building, Platform Building And Canopies, Footbridge And South West Office

Dewsbury Railway Station, built in 1848 for the London and North Western Railway Company, is designed in a Tudor style. The building features ashlar stonework and pitched slate roofs. The entrance block is two storeys high with a hipped roof, a parapet, and ashlar chimney stacks. Its symmetrical facade has four bays, with single sash windows on the first floor. To the left and right are Tudor arched entrances, each with hood moulds and carved stops, alongside two six-light mullioned and transomed square-headed windows with arched lights. A glass canopy is supported by low stone side walls.

Inside, the Tudor style continues with wide chamfered door arches and a dog-leg stone staircase featuring a Gothic cast iron balustrade. The platform buildings maintain this architectural style, with glazed canopies resting on square cast iron columns. A covered, half-glazed footbridge connects to simpler buildings on the opposite side. The office building, or Station Master's house, located to the southwest, consists of three wide bays, with the central bay being two storeys tall and slightly projecting, topped with a shaped gable. It has an eight-light square-headed window on the ground floor and a six-light square-headed window on the first floor, both mullioned and transomed with arched lights above. The single-storey side bays each feature shaped parapets and six-light mullioned and transomed windows. The building is also adorned with good ashlar chimney stacks and has lower, set-back bays on each side.
