Taxi Station

The Taxi Station is a detached building dating from the mid to late 19th century, designed in the Gothic style. It is located on an island site in Humberstone Gate. The structure is built from stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a steep-pitched slate roof with moulded coping at the gable ends, topped with stone finials.

The building has two storeys. On the ground floor, there is a central entrance with a moulded pointed arch, flanked by two-light pointed arch windows that have a continuous impost mould. Above this, a moulded string course runs along the building. The first floor contains three windows set in moulded shouldered architraves, with the central window being smaller. Above these windows, there are two small high-pitched gables with bargeboards that form pointed arches and are pierced at the apex. The eaves cornice is also moulded. Each end of the building features a window with three pointed arch lights and a circular panel above in the gable. At the rear (south), there are chimney stacks with stone caps.
