Waterford Railway Station

Freestanding canopy, built 1908, over platform on cast-iron piers. Series of hipped felt roofs in timber frames on cast-iron beams and lattice girders with reeded Perspex skylights, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves having timber boarded apron. Series of paired cast-iron girder piers on cast-iron plinths having moulded necking. Sited sheltering concrete flagged platform.

This canopy, which extends almost the entire length of the railway station complex, is an attractive composition in early surviving cast-iron work. The construction of the canopy is of technical significance. The canopy, together with the signal box (22500027/WD-5632-16-27) and the surviving portion of the original railway station (22500032/WD-5632-16-32), is of significance as a reminder of the original railway station complex in Waterford City, much of which has subsequently been replaced.
