Whitecraigs Railway Station

Possibly Formans and McCall, 1903, altered circa 1970s. Single-storey, largely symmetrical, rectangular-plan, railway station with some Arts and Crafts detailing, including distinctive swept roof with deep, overhanging eaves and gables with decorative bargeboarding and timber purlins. Built in red brick with timber detailing and there is a base course, a cill course and smooth window margins. The street elevation to the north has a central section with altered openings, and flanking, advanced, half-timbered gables. The south elevation to the platform has a high red brick base course with horizontal timber boarding above and eaves projecting to form a canopy. Canted bay windows flank the central section (which was altered in the 1970s) and there are projecting part-glazed panels at the far ends. There is some timber dentilled detailing to former openings.

There is predominantly multi-pane glazing in timber framed windows with top-opening hoppers. There are grey slates to the roof with red ridge tiles and coped ridge stacks.

The interior was seen in 2015. There has been some modification to the interior, particularly to the central section in the 1970s, when a new waiting room and ticket office were created. There remain, however, some timber-lined rooms with simple timber cornicing and with some dentilled details around the former ticket hatch. There is a brick fire surround to the room to the west.
