Description

The passenger waiting room at Dent Station, built around 1870 for the Midland Railway Company, is a railway building made of coursed rock-faced sandstone with freestone dressings. It features a Welsh slate roof with sandstone gable copings and pierced blue ridge tiles. The structure has a rectangular plan that runs parallel to the track and faces west. It is a single-storey building with four symmetrical windows. The central large doorway has a panelled door and is flanked by two pairs of two-light mullioned windows, all of which have moulded reveals and rounded corners. There is also a doorway in the left gable wall. The interior has not been inspected. This waiting room is part of a group that includes The Old Station on the opposite side of the track and a former workers' barracks located approximately 150 meters southeast.
