STATION APPROACH
(East side)
Ormskirk Railway Station, booking office etc on east side of track
(Formerly Listed as: Railway Station)
GV
II
Railway station booking hall, offices, etc. c.1860-70;
altered. Red brick in Flemish bond, slate roof. Rectangular
plan. Italianate style.
A single-storey 15-bay range, in an arcade of moulded
round-headed blank arches, with a gabled parapet over the 2
centre bays (which are flanked by redundant cast-iron columns
formerly part of a pitched canopy); doorways in the 4th, 5th
and 8th bays, and round-headed 4-pane sashed windows in the
others. Various tall chimneys.
The platform side is in similar style, but with more altered
openings: doorways in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, 12th, 14th and
15th bays, a canted bay window inserted in the 13th; and
round-headed 4-pane sashed windows in the others.
Altered 7-bay platform canopy carried on original row of 15
cast-iron columns with composite caps, carrying large
cast-iron brackets arched back to the building and out to the
track, with circular ornament in the spandrels: the present
roof is mono-pitched, but the form of the original can be seen
in pitched gable lines (with corbel-tables, etc.) over each
pair of arches (showing that the canopy roof formerly had 7
ridges at right-angles to the main range).
Forms group with goods station building on west side of track
(q.v.).
