Norwich Railway Station

Norwich Railway Station is a Grade II listed railway station built in 1886 by John Wilson. The station features red brick and stucco construction with slate and lead roofs, and an ironwork and glass concourse. It is two storeys high and has five bays divided by double pilasters, with a window pattern of 5:3:4:3:5. The end and central bays project, with the central bay being taller and topped by an imposing dome and porte-cochere. The ground floor showcases horizontal rusticated brickwork and paired sash windows, which have semi-elliptical pediments adorned with classical decoration and keystones. The foyer is accessed through 20th-century glass doors, and there is a goods entrance at the extreme right. Rusticated brick piers support the arches of the porte-cochere, which features turned balustrading on its flat roof.

A string band runs along the first floor, where the windows in the outer bays have raised and moulded surrounds, with alternating segmental and triangular pediments supported on consoles. Each of the two bays flanking the central bay contains a single sash window with a triangular pediment and two paired sashes with a scroll pediment, also supported on consoles. The central bay is accentuated by Corinthian pilasters and four mullion and transom windows, each with triangular and broken pediments. Above, a balustrade features urns and a central pedimented clock gable decorated with classical motifs. The dome is topped with a lantern and finial, and there is one surviving shallow pyramid roof above the right-hand bay. Brick corner stacks are present on each roof. Inside the foyer, classical decoration includes pilasters, a decorated frieze cornice, and a plasterwork ceiling.
