A cast-iron canopy oversails the recess and platform, with depressed arches supported on cast-iron columns. The outer bays are gabled with three-light canted windows to each and panelled timber doors with small-pane skylights to the inside returns. The symmetrical north-west elevation is four-bay, with a pair of bipartite windows to the centre bays and an eaves blocking course above.
