An internal view of the booking hall showing the panelled
facade to the booking clerk's offices with two windows provided for the sale of
tickets. The booking hall was fifty long by twenty-eight feet wide with
ornamental open timber roof surmounted by a lantern. The floor was also laid
with Minton's encaustic paving whilst the booking office enclosure was of
varnished pitch-pine, framed and panelled, with pierced cresting above the
cornice. The station's booking office was badly damaged by fire in 1923, the
year that the LNWR was absorbed into the London Midland Scottish Railway
Company (LMS), but fortunately was replaced by a near identical structure. As
can be seen in this view the booking office was in essence a building within a
building having an ornate fascia to the leaded roof.
