Borth Station

Borth Station is a late 19th-century railway station, constructed of red-brown brick with sandstone ashlar dressings and hipped slate roofs. The station is symmetrically planned, with a long single-storey main range and two projecting hipped wings to the front. The main range features five tall brick stacks. The wings are two-storey and set to the same roof height as the main range. The flat eaves are emphasised by a moulded timber cornice. The front of the building has three windows to the left of a wider central door, and two wider-spaced windows to the right. The original windows were 4-pane sashes, although some have been altered. The wings have square-headed openings with quarter-round mouldings to the edges. The left wing has three bays to the south and three to the west, with square upper windows featuring a projecting timber cornice and slightly larger ground floor windows; the centre southern window has been altered to a door. The right wing, designated "Station House," has a two-window north front with 4-pane and 6-pane sashes on the first floor, and a lengthened 6-pane sash and door on the ground floor. The west side of the Station House mirrors the left wing. The south rear elevation has 20th-century windows. The eastern front, facing the platform, has a later steel platform canopy and a single long range with arched windows and doors, echoing the west front. The windows and doors are arranged in a sequence of larger windows (A), smaller windows (B), and doors (C), which are either 6-panel or double 6-panel. Internally, the ticket-hall features a stone fireplace. Alterations have occurred to the station over time, including the demolition of a low store at the south end of the main range. Throughout the station, features include raised ashlar surrounds with pilasters, pyramid faceted caps and bases to window openings, depressed arches, faceted keystones, stopped quarter-round mouldings, a roundel motif in timber, ashlar rusticated angle quoins, and chamfered ashlar courses to the raised plinth.
