Long Marton goods shed with office and detached weighbridge office

This is a railway goods shed with an attached office and a separate weighbridge office, built in 1873 by H J Sanders for the Midland Railway's Settle to Carlisle line. The goods shed is constructed from local red sandstone, believed to be from Dufton Gill quarry, with quoins and dressings of larger, rock-faced blocks; the eaves and verges are of finely dressed stone. The roof is slate with gray tile ridges and verges, and the building has cast iron rainwater goods.

The goods shed has a single-story, single through-line loading and transhipment area designed for three wagons. The north-east elevation features four regularly spaced windows alternating with three cart loading entrances. The loading entrances have segmentally arched heads and timber doors, with raised timber thresholds for external loading. The windows are lancets with pointed heads and cast iron tracery including two columns of octagonal lozenges. The attached office, to the right, is lower and similarly detailed with a pair of lancet windows and a tall, end-ridge stack of red sandstone with limestone dressings, including an ornamented cap. The north-west gable has finely dressed red sandstone verges with coped gray tile overhanging roof verges. The office gable has a doorway with a two-centred arched head, served by a short flight of stone steps. The goods shed gable has a segmentally arched railway entrance with a timber door, and a round ventilator opening. The south-west elevation, facing the main line, is similar to the north-east elevation, but with blind cart entrances to either side of a centrally placed, platform-height loading doorway that is topped by a timber canopy. The south-east gable has a segmentally arched railway entrance with timber doors and a similarly arched blind opening, with a centrally placed circular ventilation opening in the gable.

Inside the office, the original corner fireplace remains, with a simple stone surround and iron grate. The office also retains match-boarded ceilings, skirtings, and floorboards.

A small, detached weighbridge office is built from red sandstone with rock-faced quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof that retains some original decorative, perforated ridge tiles. A red sandstone chimney with a limestone cap is present. The weighbridge office has a doorway on the south-east gable, a window on the opposite gable, and a large window on the south-west side wall; the rear (north-east) wall retains a centrally placed chimney with a fireplace and a simple stone surround.
