Shrewsbury Station

Shrewsbury Station is a railway station built in 1849 and extended around 1900, designed by Thomas Penson Junior from Oswestry. The building features an ashlar façade and a Welsh slate roof, showcasing a Tudor Gothic style. It has three storeys, although it was originally two. The station has a 25-window range, divided into four principal bays, which are highlighted by polygonal buttresses with finials. The design is asymmetrical, featuring a tower above the main entrance and an advanced wing to the left.

The entrance tower is four storeys high and includes an oriel window on the third stage, topped by a clock. It has polygonal angle pinnacles and a parapet. The windows are mullioned and transomed, consisting of three and four lights, with decorative glazing and hoodmoulds. There are string courses between the storeys, adorned with quatrefoil panels, and the parapet includes traceried panels. The roof features ridge cresting and axial octagonal stacks. A glazed canopy projects from the first floor, and the platforms are covered by a series of transverse glazed gables. Originally two storeys, the building was modified to include a lower ground floor to provide tunnel access to the platforms.
