Description
Appleby Station's main building is a railway station constructed in 1876 for the Midland Railway. It is made of red brick with sandstone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is a single-storey range with a cross-wing at the north end.
On the platform side, the elevation consists of five bays, with the first, third, and fifth bays having gables; the southernmost gable is smaller. The openings from left to right include a 2-light window, a door, a single-light window, a tall 3-light window, a 3-bay timber and glazed screen with cast iron part lozenge glazing and double doors, another tall 3-light window, and a lower wing with a door. All windows are 4-pane sashes with stone heads. The large gabled bays feature stone quoins, trefoils in the gables, and fretted bargeboards, along with four tall ridge stacks and end gables with bargeboards.
The street elevation has 2 and 3-light sashes and is otherwise plain. The interior layout remains largely unchanged, making it an almost unaltered example of the larger type of Settle and Carlisle station, similar to Settle Station.
