Description
Headingley Railway Station, now known as Forman Doyle, is a railway station that has been converted into offices. It was built in 1849, likely designed by Grainger, for the Leeds and Thirsk Railways. The building is constructed of coursed squared rock-faced gritstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof, along with end and ridge stacks that have moulded cornices. The wide eaves are supported by paired curved brackets.
The structure consists of one and two storeys and includes sash windows with margin-light glazing bars. The main range on the right has a two-window projecting gable in the centre, which contains a blind doorway and windows below, with a blank wall on either side of the doorway to the left and a window to the right. The windows are topped with stone flat arches. To the left, there is a single-storey range that mirrors the main range, featuring paired sash windows in the centre.
The facade facing the railway has three windows, a central doorway, and sash windows in the projecting gable, which also includes a clock-face on the right side. The gable apexes and corners of the roofs are adorned with fine finials. The original low platform is made of stone slabs and kerbstones. The interior has not been inspected.
