Engineers Offices At Goods Yard, British Rail Station

The Engineers Offices at the Goods Yard of the British Rail Station were built in 1837, likely designed by architect Francis Thompson. This building is part of the original North British Railway Station complex and may correspond to a structure referred to as the 'Machine House' in the Tithe Map Schedule of 1848, although there are some inaccuracies in the map's alignment and scale, as well as changes in the street pattern, making this identification uncertain.

The building is constructed of ashlar stone with quoins and a plinth. Its elevation facing Corporation Street is a single storey topped with a fishscale tiled roof. It features end chimneys with blind centre recesses and moulded cornices. In the centre, there is a parapet and pediment that originally displayed the arms of the North Midland Railway, although the centre of the arms has been removed. Flanking the central panelled door are two unbarred sash windows with stone dressings, and there is a rectangular fanlight above the door. The rear elevation, which faces a lower ground area, is two storeys high and has windows that are irregularly placed.
