A general view of the outside of the station at road level. The station building was constructed on three sides in brickwork whilst the rear elevation was constructed in timber. Its believed that this method of construction was adopted because it reduced costs. The front elevation sat on the steelwork used to support the bridge whilst the two sides stood on foundations buried in the platforms. The rear wall however was also suspended above the tracks and being constructed of timber required a much lighter steel support than if built in brick.
