North York Moors Railway Goathland Station

Goathland Station is a station house, ticket office, screen wall, and weigh-house built around 1865 by the office of Thomas Prosser, who was the Engineer and Architect for the North-Eastern Railway Company. The building is constructed from rockfaced sandstone and has a slate roof with four stacks, two of which are rendered.

The station house is two stories high and features a three-window front, with a one-story, one-window wing on the left. To the right, there is a one-story range that includes the ticket office, screen wall, and weigh-house. The house front has panelled double doors located to the right of a three-window canted bay, which has chamfered ogee-stopped jambs, a cornice, and a hipped roof. There is a small four-pane sash window at the far left end and a larger similar window elsewhere. An inset station clock is positioned to the right of the doors within a mounded surround. The eaves have a chamfered band, and the gable ends are crow-stepped with massive bulgy kneelers on both the main roof and the wing. The building has end stacks on both roofs and an inserted stack at the base of the main roof on the left side.

The ticket office has an original doorway that is blocked by a shuttered window to the right of the ticket window, and the right gable is crow-stepped. The screen wall further to the right has a board door leading to a former yard behind, and the weigh-house at the right end features a squat six-pane sash window. Both ends of the weigh-house have crow-stepped gables with bulgy kneelers. All windows throughout the building have stone sills, and every opening is topped with bordered rusticated lintels. At the rear, there are four-pane sashes, with those on the first floor of the house being blocked. The weigh-house has a toll window with four six-pane horizontal sliding sashes. This building is included for its historic interest.
