Description
North Ealing Station, including the footbridge, is an underground station built in 1899 by the District Railway, but it opened on 23 June 1903 after electric traction was installed. The station features roughcast brick construction with red brick and stone dressings on a red-brick plinth, topped with a slate roof and red brick stacks. The main building is located on the west side of the tracks, is rectangular, and has two storeys with a booking hall. A bridge connects to the eastbound platform, which has a timber shelter.
The main building has a symmetrical design at the entrance frontage, which faces the car park. It includes a small projecting canopy supported by cast-iron brackets and features a dentilled cornice. Above the entrance, there is a gable on timber brackets with a central Venetian window flanked by smaller openings, one of which is partly blocked. The upper floor has sash windows with small panes in the upper sashes, set within gables and dormers. The lower floor also features sash windows with small panes. Double doors with small lights in the upper section lead into the central booking hall, which includes a ticket office on the left and an office on the right, retaining a clock. Steps leading down to the platform level pass under a sign that reads "TO TRAINS FOR HARROW AND UXBRIDGE" in heavy type with a finger pointer, representing an early example of the standardized signage introduced by Edward Johnson after 1915.
The rear elevation has a canopy, and there is a separate platform canopy at the bottom of the steps, supported by timber posts and steel brackets, with timber cheeks and bargeboards. The footbridge is made of wrought-iron lattice girder construction with an added roof. There is also a smaller timber shelter on the 'up' platform, which features a proportionately large canopy and bargeboards.
North Ealing is notable as the only station to have survived from the District Railway's westward expansion during 1899-1903, and it remains an extremely unaltered and richly detailed example of a station from this period.
