Level Crossing And Overbridge, Broughty Ferry Station, Dundee

The Level Crossing and Overbridge at Broughty Ferry Station in Dundee was built in 1838, with later alterations and additions including a subway constructed in 1886. The interior has undergone changes and received glazed timber infill between 2000 and 2012, and a signal box was renewed and relocated in 2012.

The building features coursers, random rubble, brick, timber, cast-iron, and grey slate roofs. The south range includes 2- and 4-pane sash and case windows with chamfered margins, decorative bargeboards at the east and west gables, cut-back eaves on the north and south sides, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

On the northeast elevation, there are paired gables with two windows at the ground floor, and a wallhead gable on the left return elevation. The ground floor is partially obscured by the subway entrance, while the right return elevation features two doors and a clock. A single-storey section is recessed on the right, with a flagstone-paved platform and a kingpost timber roof supported by ten slender cast-iron columns with decorative brackets. The northern third of this section is boxed in with a boarded ceiling and a plain timber balance. At the far right, there is a late 19th-century red brick WC bay with cream brick dressings and a piended roof with a louvred ridge vent.

The southeast elevation has a covered entrance passage from Gray Street and a lean-to with a bricked-up door that masks the ground floor of the paired gables on the right. There are two windows on the first floor, and a higher block on the left with five blocked windows and a gable-headed attic door. A lower bay at the far left has a chamfered angle and a piended roof, with a brick bay at the outer left.

The subway features entrances on the north and south sides with ashlar bases, and ramped vertically glazed canopies supported by decorative cast-iron brackets.
