Description
The Former Dover Harbour Station is a railway station built in 1861, which later served as a bonded warehouse and more recently as a training centre. It is designed in Italianate style and constructed from very large yellow bricks laid on end, with stock brick dressings and polychrome brick voussoirs. The roof is slate-covered. The southernmost part of the building was originally the Station Master's Office, featuring a projecting pedimented gable with a brick cornice and paired round-headed windows, which have been blocked at the base. On the south side, a 20th-century door has been inserted into an enlarged original window opening.
At the rear, there is a yellow brick tower with stone coping, red brick bands, and lancet windows. To the north, three cambered windows lead to the former Booking Office, which is a single-storey structure with four bays and a brick chimneystack on the left. It has a red brick modillion eaves cornice and three round-headed windows, each with top pivoting windows, featuring red and yellow brick voussoirs and a black brick band. The left side has a doorcase with a semi-circular pediment and a plank door.
Adjoining to the north is another section with three yellow brick chimneystacks. The right-hand section has five cambered blocked windows, while the left-hand section has ten round-headed windows, two of which have oculus above, along with a 20th-century door. The former First Class Waiting Room, linked by a curtain wall, has a hipped roof now covered in asbestos sheeting, a round-headed window, and 20th-century double doors. The curtain wall on the platform side features a series of round-headed arches that were filled in around 1927 when the railway station was relocated closer to the harbour, leading to the conversion of this building into a bonded warehouse.
