Wrexham General Station: Entrance Building

Wrexham General Station's entrance building features roughly coursed and squared stone with ashlar dressings and a fishscale slate roof. The symmetrical single-storey entrance range has outer pavilion blocks adorned with wrought iron brattishing and steep roofs. The central entrance is set in a roll-moulded archway, flanked by cross-pane windows. There are cornices above similar windows in the pavilions, one of which has been converted into a doorway. To the right, there is a long range of offices and waiting rooms with similar openings.

On the platform side, the building has roll-moulded arches for the doorways and 4-pane fixed glazing for the windows. A canopied opening connects the original structure to a later addition on the east, which is built of red brick with blue brick dressings. The overall platform canopy features a glazed pitched roof supported by cast-iron columns with twisted enrichment at the high bases, fluted shafts, and foliate capitals. These columns carry cambered iron ties with enriched scrolled brackets, which support cambered timber trusses featuring short stop-chamfered king-posts. Similar brackets extend to a cantilevered canopy that projects to the platform edge, finishing with fretted valences.
