Description

Barking Station Booking Hall is a station booking hall built in 1961, designed by architect H.H. Powell with project architect John Ward. The structure features fair-faced concrete and precast concrete with extensive glazing. It is fourteen bays long and stands on a bridge over railway tracks. The concrete roof trusses span the booking hall in three unequal pitches and extend over the road to provide cover for waiting cars. The fascia of the roof over the road is made of vertically ribbed fair-faced concrete. The building is surrounded by high-level glazing on all sides, with the front being fully glazed. Although station trading units have been added in recent years next to the street glazing, the booking hall still maintains a fine sense of space. It is a well-proportioned and well-detailed building.
