Description

The main entrance range of Tenby Railway Station was constructed in the 19th century, exhibiting group value as an important example of Victorian railway architecture. The building is primarily squared rock-faced pink stone with yellow Bath stone dressings and a broad slate half-hipped roof with crested ridge tiles, extending over the platform. It is one storey and features five bays.

The front elevation has two ashlar chimneys with chamfered plinths, diagonally set paired square shafts, and corniced caps. A prominent central entry is defined by ashlar quoins. Large four-pane sashes flank the entrance, set in chamfered surrounds with blind pointed heads that break the eaves beneath bargeboarded half-hipped gables. The arch heads are filled with herringbone ashlar. Flush bands are present at sill level and mid-height. Smaller, narrow loop windows are positioned on either side, with upper bands forming triangular heads featuring stone voussoirs. Segmental pointed four-pane sashes are found at the ends, their chamfers stopped between the jambs and head. A low right-end bay has a half-hipped lean-to roof and a small segmental-pointed headed four-pane sash. The end wall features one small, blocked window, lacking the flush bands of the main elevation.

The platform front incorporates tall openings with roll-moulded pointed blind heads filled with herringbone ashlar, with bands at sill and springing levels. The main platform front includes two pairs of openings on each side of the central door: inner pairs are four-pane sashes, the outer left pair is a four-pane sash with a four-pane overlight, and the outer right pair consists of two boarded doors. An unusually elaborate canopy is supported by six iron columns with moulded bases, shaft rings, and octagonal caps. These columns support cast-iron posts with ornate curved brackets featuring pierced ironwork patterns of quatrefoils and leaf scrolls. The main beams are carried along the line of the columns, with principal rafters and raking struts, and triangular spaces between are filled with timber pierced with trefoils and circles. The canopy features a moulded cornice and a deep valance with roundel ends to the boards.

A later 19th-century canopy extends to the south, supported by a back screen wall that returns slightly at the south end. This canopy utilizes steel trusses carried on cast iron columns with fluting to the lower part and leaf capitals, manufactured by Hill & Smith of Brierley Hill. It has simpler valancing and an asbestos sheet roof. The screen wall to the station yard is constructed from grey limestone with ashlar matching the plinth, bands, and eaves band, although the eaves band is plain. The wall includes a pair of four-pane sashes with Tudor-arched heads to the extreme right, a shorter pair in the centre, boarded in, and a broad archway to the left with rounded jambs and a segmental pointed head. A short south return wall is also banded. Attached to the original station building on the platform is a square, flat-roofed structure with a broad opening, roll-moulded ashlar jambs, and a 20th-century lintel. A further 20th-century addition is located to the right, also flat-roofed.
