Geograph - photograph every grid square

This was designed by Edward Banks in the Italianate style and built in 1849 from yellow brick and sandstone columns and two storeys topped by two square turrets, both of which used to have clocks. It was originally a ticket office and with offices above and entrance to the railway station. The two centre arches were for carriages to pass through; pedestrians used the narrower arches by the sides. The decision to preserve the building was made just in time in 1978, but work was not carried out until the late 1980s when the bus station was being developed. At the same time, the two single storey side sections were added, compare here: Link (Archive Link )
