The description shall be amended to read:

Achitrave surrounds to windows, panelled on pavilions with cornices over. console brackets to sills. The centre pavilion has 1882 addition of elaborate baroque clock tower with lead dome. Glazed roof added between pavilions over pavement. Projecting later 4 window office block added to west with architrave framed sashes. The east end of Station facing Valley Bridge Road is of 5 bays divided by rusticated piers, the frieze cornice and blocking course breaking forward over them. Moulded sill course. 3 architrave surround round headed large windows with fixed glazing bars and 2 doorways in similar surrounds, upper parts glazed as windows. The passenger train shed, comprising platforms 3, 4 and 5, retains the original G T Andrews roof structure, a unique survival for a station of this size. The wood and glass roof is supported by the walls and a central row of cast-iron columns with broad curved girders, light iron trusses carrying the roof structure across the two aisles so formed. The two adjacent sheds covering platforms 6, 7 and 8 respectively, were probably the original Andrews goods station. Nos 6 - 7 have a light iron truss roof structure carried on the flanking walls similar to the passenger shed and No 8 platform has a timber king post roof also carried on walls. On the wall of the former station buffet is a polychrome tile map of the North Eastern Railway network circa 1903, a particularly fine example of its kind.
