Former Dartmouth Station

The Former Dartmouth Station, built between 1864 and 1870, served as a landing stage for the ferry from the Kingswear railway terminus. It features a timber-framed structure with large-panel framing, middle rails covered internally with vertical boards, all painted, and set on a brick plinth. The building has a hipped roof covered with slate.

The exterior is one storey high and has a six-bay front that includes a series of windows and glazed doors, mostly from the 20th century and lacking glazing bars. Similar windows and doors are found on the other sides. Old timber thresholds indicate two original front doorways: one in the bay to the right of center and another in the right end bay. A canopy with a timber valance extends across the front, supported by cast-iron brackets, and is roofed with corrugated iron and glass. There is a timber box cornice at the eaves level. The hipped roof has a flat top designed to accommodate ventilators, which are enclosed by a balustrade made of ornamental cast iron, featuring large stars on each standard and taller, more elaborate finials at either end. At the right (south) end, there is a contemporary covered approach that originally connected to the ferry landing stage, featuring a pitched corrugated-iron roof supported at the end by a single upright iron girder.

Inside, a flat 20th-century ceiling conceals the roof structure.
