Description

The North Queensferry Station, built around 1890, is a single-story rectangular building originally part of a pair of station ranges on opposite platforms, of which only the eastern range now remains. It served as part of the Forth Bridge Railway Company's infrastructure and was later re-imagined by the North British Railway Company, with a similar design seen at Inverkeithing. The station is now unmanned, having been closed in the late 1980s, though it continues to operate.

The building is timber-framed on a brick base. The east elevation features eight painted, blind windows and a cill course. The south elevation has a pair of timber boarded doors with a moulded architrave and a large, round-arched fanlight above. The west (platform) elevation has three timber panelled doors, timber framing with former windows boarded up, a full-length cantilevered awning with a decorative valance, and triangular roof ventilators on the left side. The pitched roof is covered with graded grey slates, featuring overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, coped brick ridge stacks, and circular clay cans. Timber picket fencing runs along the railway lines of both east and west platforms. A timber and steel-trussed footbridge connects the station to the south.

The interior comprises three rooms on the platform side: a ladies' waiting room, a general waiting room, and a ticket office with original counters and storage shelves. The ticket office and ladies' waiting room both feature classical motif chimneypieces with cast-iron fireplaces, while tongue and groove panelling extends to dado height throughout.

Adjacent to the station, west of the railway line, is a later 20th-century single-story flat-roofed shed, featuring a commemorative Forth Bridge centenary mosaic on its west elevation.

The station forms part of the North Approach Railway, a 3km route commencing from the north abutment of the Forth Bridge and terminating at Inverkeithing, the former junction with the North British Railway. This approach also includes the Jamestown viaduct.
