Description: The Great Northern Railway Station was designed by T C Hine. The Great Northern Railway main line ran from London to Doncaster and was opened in c 1852, though a London to York scheme had been proposed as early as 1827. The Great Northern (Low Level) was erected in 1857. It was closed to passengers on May 22nd, 1944, although it did remain open to goods until and served latterly serving as a parcels depot until 1988 handling a million packages per annum. The Corn warehouse on the left was built in 1857 for the Great Northern Railway Company. Also designed by Nottingham architect T C Hine in conjunction with his design for the adjacent main station building at London Road (Low Level Station). The design incorporated a major technological achievement in creating a roof that spanned a huge void with only iron suspension rods supporting the first floor, providing the maximum possible roof space for grain storage. The roof and internal structure were, however, destroyed in a major fire in 1998 and all that is left is some elements of the iron rod strapping system visible within the wall voids. The building has red and white polychromatic brickwork with a continuous row of round windows at first floor level and round-arched windows at ground level, all originally with cast-iron frames (many now removed).
