What is recorded here

Detached water tower, built c. 1890, now disused. Painted steel water tank c. 1940 with rounded corners, steel inspection ladder on south side, insitu stepped concrete base. Coursed squared-and-snecked rock-faced ashlar walling to base. Round-headed door opening to south elevation, rock-faced ashlar voussoirs with tooled margins to intrados, painted vertically-sheeted timber door c. 1980. Fronting platform to east, station, waiting room and bridge to south.
A good example of a traditional railway water tower, an essential feature of any nineteenth century railway station. Fine masonry walls add to the architectural quality.
