Description
Knaresborough Station is a Grade II listed building that includes railings at the front, a main ticket office and waiting-room range, and platform canopies on both the north and south sides of the track. The station was built in 1865 and rebuilt in 1890. It features gritstone and cast-iron railings, cream brick in Flemish bond for the buildings, cast-iron columns, and roofs made of grey slate and glazed materials. The railings along the Station Road approach extend for approximately 100 meters, standing about 2 meters high and adjusting to the slope of the ground. They consist of gritstone walling with bars topped by foliated spear-head finials and standards with gadrooned ball and cushion finials.
The station buildings are single-storey and approximately 10 bays long. The main facade on the north side has a wide entrance bay to the right of center, featuring original wooden gates. To the left of the entrance are 2-light segmental-headed windows with brick arches and stone sills. To the right of the entrance, there are 3 sash windows and a canted bay window that projects from the right return. The building has deep eaves with a valance, four tall brick stacks with paired flues and a dentilled cornice, and four ornate ventilation flues to the left of the entrance, likely made of lead-covered wood, adorned with friezes, cornices, and ball finials. The rear facade, facing the platform, has original half-glazed panelled doors and 4-pane sash windows similar to the front.
The platform canopies are supported by columns, with 12 on the north platform and 8 on the south platform. These columns have moulded bases, Egyptian-style stiff-leaf capitals, curved braces supporting cross-beams, and circular motifs in the spandrels. Inside, above the ticket office windows, there are glazed tiles that read "IN" and "OUT."
