GV II*

Railway passenger station, later garden centre. c1846. By G T Andrews for George Hudson's Great North of England Railway. Sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, Welsh slate and glass roof. Jacobethan style. Triple-depth plan. Single-storey; nine-bay train-shed fronted by eleven-bay office range with five-bay porte-cochère further to the front. Plinth. Quoins.

Porte-cochère: arcade of moulded four-centred arches divided by stepped buttresses. String with gargoyles, parapet. Inner wall, from left: three-light mullion and transom window; leaved door in surround with moulded stop-chamfered jambs and with moulded corbels supporting lintel; part-glazed leaved door with similar jambs and three-light mullioned overlight; two-light mullion and transom window; main entrance door with Perpendicular-style traceried panelling and wicket-door, in hollow-moulded pointed-arched doorway with label. To right of porte-cochère: three two-light mullion and transom windows; gabled slightly-projecting bay with canted-bay window with lead roof; two two-light mullion and transom windows. String, parapet. Welsh slate roofs, taller over porte-cochère. Ashlar copings to left section and also at right end. Tall ashlar stacks with strings and cornices: square at end left; double-octagon between bays two and three; lozenge at right end of porte-cochère; single octagon to left of gabled bay; double-octagon to right of gabled bay. Behind, glazed two-span roof of train shed.

To left of porte-cochère: single-storey lower range supporting wrought-iron water tank with roundel bearing legend "E THOMPSON YORK 1854".

Rear elevation of train shed: nine bays divided by stepped buttresses. Eight cross windows, the fifth bay blind. Glass roof over bays two-eight slightly raised with louvred ventilator below at junction with Welsh slate roof.

Left return: twin openings to train shed, now with C20 glazing below herringbone timber panelling in gables, each with a two-light window, a tie-beam decorated with tracery and traceried bargeboards.

Right return: to left, set back, lower gable of office range with two-light mullion and transom window; twin gables of train shed with canted-bay window with stone roof in centre and double mullion and transom window to right.

Interior: rooms in office range retain their panelled doors, cornices and some fireplaces. Ticket fixture in former ticket office. Shutters to windows from parcels office onto platform. Train shed: roof valley carried on octagonal hollow cast-iron columns, one bearing maker's name "JOHN WALKER YORK" (iron founder to Queen Victoria 1847-1853 and maker of the railings and gates for the British Museum, 1851). The connecting beams in the form of four-centred arches, with flat castings of Perpendicular-Tudor motifs in the spandrels. Suspension roof to train-shed spans. The station complex at Richmond forms an important group of railway buildings and is almost complete, only the goods station and coal-staithes having been demolished. The passenger station is of outstanding architectural importance, being one of the best of many good stations designed by G T Andrews for George Hudson (several now demolished), and executed with particularly high quality materials and craftsmanship. It formed the terminus of the Richmond branch line from Darlington.
