Description

Holywell Junction Railway Station is a 19th-century building constructed of red brick, featuring an almost flat, ribbed slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The design is symmetrical, with short single-storey wings and connecting pavilions at either end. It has a cornice and a deep entablature with a band linking large rose bosses. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows with lintel and sill bands, high cornices, and moulded architraves, while blind recesses flank the central windows. There was formerly a canopy below, supported by the end pavilions.

The ground floor includes full-height round-arched openings set in square-headed frames, complete with an impost band. Small-pane sashes are located beside central half-glazed double doors, which have a blind tympanum and enriched spandrels, with blind panels on either side. There are blocked doorways in the wings. The taller pavilions feature slit ventilators, sills, cornices, and round-arched openings, with one sash missing its glazing. The end elevations also have 12-pane sashes and attached flat roof ranges with similar detailing, including retained round-arched sash glazing at the right (northwest) end. At the rear (southwest), there are three round-arched ground floor windows with sills and panelled aprons at plinth level. Internally, there are panelled doors and deep cornices.

At the time of inspection in March 1990, the station was disused and in poor condition.
