Stoke On Trent Station

Stoke-on-Trent Station is a railway station built in 1847 by HA Hunt, designed in the Elizabethan and Jacobean style. The building is constructed of brick and features plain and patterned tiled roofs. It is two storeys high with a long facade that includes offices and the main entrance, which is the central section of the building. The outer sections consist of three bays each, leading to a recessed block of three bays that flank the slightly advanced central section of five bays. The outer ranges have mullioned windows with round-arched lights and flat hoodmoulds above them. The doorways in the inner range are topped with round arched traceried fanlights set beneath flat hood moulds.

The station has a plinth, parapet eaves, and moulded string courses throughout, along with axial stacks. The central range features three ornate Dutch gables and an advanced colonnade of Doric columns with pronounced entasis at the ground floor entrances, which are adorned with a frieze and fretwork parapet above. On the first floor, there are mullioned windows with four and two lights on each side of an oriel window, which has three tiers of lights. A strapwork frieze and a fretted parapet with a coat of arms are positioned above the central window. The train shed is covered by a series of glazed transverse ridges supported by wrought-iron trusses, which are carried on a brick screen wall at the rear.
