The Royal Railway Shelter (Building Number 1/45)

The Royal Railway Shelter, also known as Building No 1/45, is a railway shelter built in 1888. It features a cast-iron frame with a roof made of asphalt on wooden lining. This single-storey, open-sided structure consists of 1 x 7 bays, supported by pillars with a cross section that hold up trussed iron arches spanning a double track. The arches have flat-topped longitudinal braces with twisted iron struts. Each side of the roof has three round-arched louvred dormers with wooden archivolts. The gable finials are designed in the shape of a crowned fouled anchor. On the east side, which faces the quayside, the eaves are gableted and adorned with curved bargeboards and glass roofs.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this shelter was built for the use of the Royal Family when visiting the yard and is part of a group with the Royal Station. The shelter was relocated to its current position around 2002.
