Ulverston Railway Station Including Nightclub Premises

Ulverston Railway Station, now also housing a nightclub, was rebuilt in 1873 by the architectural firm Paley and Austin for the Furness Railway. The station is constructed of squared coursed red sandstone with yellow sandstone dressings, and features a limestone plinth and ground-floor sill band, topped with slate roofs. Designed in the Italianate style, the building consists of a two-storey block with a square plan and a four-stage clock tower at the north-east corner.

A single-storey range extends westward parallel to the platform, ending in a gabled cross-wing. To the east, a screen wall runs parallel to the platform and ends with a disused two-storey tower. The two-storey block has three bays facing south, with windows featuring two round-headed lights separated by engaged columns. The first-floor windows are set under flat heads with a sill band, while the ground-floor windows are within round arches, each with a central roundel above the lights and an impost band. The eaves are bracketed, and the central flat of the hipped roof is surrounded by crested iron railings.

The clock tower is adorned with a parapet pierced with roundels and topped with an urn at each corner. The single-storey range to the west has windows with two flat-headed lights separated by a Tuscan pilaster, all set under a round arch. There are three windows to the right of a central doorway and two windows to the left flanking a narrower doorway. A monopitched glazed canopy spans the full width of this range. The cross-wing on the left features an oculus below its gable.

On the north side, the central part of the platform is covered by a glazed canopy supported by cast-iron columns with decorated brackets. A similar canopy covers the island platform to the north. At the west end of the station buildings, a 20th-century glass-walled extension to the nightclub extends onto the platform.
