Malton Station

The building comprises a railway station with a station house and associated buildings, constructed in 1845 for the York and North Midland Railway, with subsequent alterations in 1867, 1883, and around 1890, along with further modifications in the 20th century. William Bell carried out the alterations of 1890. It is built of dressed sandstone on a plinth, with tooled sandstone dressings, with alterations incorporating tooled sandstone, an 1883 extension of red brick, and slate and glazed roofs, along with brick and stone stacks.

The entrance range is accompanied by a trainshed behind. The main range is single-storey and seven bays wide, with two- and three-window pavilions at each end, and a further one- and two-storey range to the left. An extension wall was added in 1883 to the left end. The main range features sliding panelled double doors to the left of centre, with a divided overlight beneath a segmental arch of stepped voussoirs. An extension from around 1890 incorporates two 12-pane sashes with flat arches. A later inserted shop front sits to the right of the entrance, with three further 12-pane sashes, two of which are in altered openings with lintels, and one with an original flat arch. The main range has a pitched roof, with a hipped roof to the extension.

The station house, to the right, has a door case of pilasters and an entablature containing a part-glazed door and bordered overlight. A canted bay to the right has an overhanging roof on shaped brackets. Two 12-pane sashes with painted stone sills are present on the first floor. Ground-floor sill band and raised first-floor band appear, along with a cavetto-moulded timber eaves cornice beneath overhanging eaves on shaped brackets, with stacks rising through the hipped roof. The right return front, of three bays, repeats features of the entrance front.

Refreshment rooms are located to the left, featuring a door case of pilasters and an entablature containing a four-panel door and bordered overlight. Twelve-pane sashes with flat arches are on the ground floor, and two similar windows are on the first floor, flanking a blocked centre opening. The left return wall reveals a semicircular arched opening of voussoirs, belonging to the former Footwarmer Room.

The rear elevation showcases eight arches, segmental at each end and elliptical in between, with keystones and hood-moulds, and plain pilasters. This wall was pierced in 1867 to accommodate an up-platform, later removed in 1911.

The interior features a hipped shed roof with iron trusses of three vertical struts and four diagonal braces. Glazed extension roofs are transverse and raised on cast-iron Composite columns with decorative spandrels. Refreshment room fittings from around 1900 survive, including a panelled counter and bar with shelving and bevelled glass, alongside two chimneypieces. Three ticket windows from around 1890 remain, although altered in later times. The original iron water tank is visible to the rear. A Victorian letter box is inset in a pier to the left of the refreshment rooms, and a windscreen from 1867 is at the end of the platform.
