Description

Spalding Town Station is a railway station with an attached footbridge, built in 1848 for the Great Northern Railway Company. The structure is made of unpainted brick with painted brick and ashlar dressings, featuring slate roofs with bracketed overhanging eaves and a brick chamfered cornice. It has ten tall brick stacks.

The entrance front consists of 20 bays, starting from the left with a tall two-storey staircase block that is set back and has a hipped roof along with a large round-headed window. In front, there is a flat-roofed single-storey wing that has two blind round-headed openings. Following this is a two-storey single bay gabled section with a tripartite sash window below and a plain Venetian window above. This is followed by a recessed section that contains a single plain sash flanked by single doors with overlights, above another plain sash.

Next is a tall three-storey tower featuring painted cill bands and a pyramidal roof. It has a two-light cross casement with a flat ashlar hood on brackets above a round-headed casement with sidelights, and above that, another cross casement. A single-storey wing follows, which has three round-headed entrance arches, and beyond it is a slightly projecting gabled wing with another round-headed entrance arch.

Further along is another wing with a central blind window flanked by two plain sashes, followed by another slightly projecting gabled wing with a plain Venetian window. Finally, there is a six-bay single-storey range with three blank panels and three plain sashes.

The platform facade is mostly covered by a large wooden canopy supported on iron columns with ornate iron brackets. To the south-west, an iron footbridge spans the railway line, featuring a two-storey brick stair tower with a hipped slate roof. The footbridge continues beyond to another platform with two continuous flights of steps.
