Description
The Carriage Shed and Workshops at Ladybank Station were built around 1848 for the Edinburgh and Northern Railway, possibly designed by architect David Bell. This structure features a double-gabled, one-storey block located at the north end of the sidings, with a workshop range attached to the southeast. The engine shed has skew gables and slate roofs, constructed from coursed rubble with freestone dressings. It includes a clock and an oculus in the south gables, along with four stilted round-arched engine openings that have plain boarded doors. The flank elevation is adorned with eight diamond-glazed windows that have raised margins. The workshop has a hipped slate roof with stone chimneys that have been rebuilt in brick, and a raised louvre in the center of the roof. It features a large segmental arched entrance flanked by double diamond-paned windows with raised margins, and a single sash window to the right end, as well as a circular clock in the gable end.
