Harrow And Wealdstone Station

Harrow and Wealdstone Station is a railway station built between 1911 and 1912 by Gerald C Horsley for the London and North Western Railway. The station is constructed of English bond red brick, featuring channelled quoining and pilasters, with lower courses made of Cornish granite and Portland stone dressings, topped with slate roofs.

The station has a plan that includes a single-storey backing hall next to a two-storey stair-hall and tower, designed in the Wrennaissance style. Notable architectural features include keyed semi-circular stone arches over Diocletian windows positioned above two doorways that have half-glazed panelled double doors. There is a tripartite sash window set in a keyed and eared segmental stone architrave on the left-side return. A dentilled cornice runs beneath a stone parapet, which displays the letters "LNWR" in four round openings.

At the rear of the left side return, there is a slightly projecting open-pedimented bay that features blocked voussoirs to a semi-circular arched doorway, a first-floor Venetian window, and an ornamental cartouche in the stone tympanum. The clock tower includes stone banding and a lateral stack, with clock faces positioned below a dentilled stone cornice and topped with a pyramidal roof that has a weathervane.

The one-storey platform elevation has five segmental-arched stone-keyed 12-pane sash windows. Inside, the booking hall retains a wooden inspector's kiosk and a ticket booth, both with lugged architraves around the openings. An Ionic column supports a coffered ceiling that features rectangular fields.
