| Description |
The old waiting room at Worcester Shrub Hill Station. It is behind barriers. Wonder if it will get restored? Is protected by the Railway Heritage Trust. It is Grade II* listed. Shrub Hill Station: Waiting Room to East Platform, Worcester - British Listed Buildings WORCESTER SO8555SE SHRUB HILL 620-1/14/519 Shrub Hill Station: waiting 05/04/71 room to east platform (Formerly Listed as: SHRUB HILL Shrub Hill Railway Station. East Platform at Shrub Hill Railway Station) GV II* Waiting room, now office and waiting room. c1880. Iron frame made by the Vulcan Iron Works, Worcester, with panels of glazed ceramic tiles by Maw and Company; concealed flat roof. EXTERIOR: single storey, 3:1:3 bays, the centre is set back. Bays articulated by paired columns with decorative capitals on plinths which break forward from panelled dado; surmounting frieze and modillion cornice. Bays have paired 1/1 round-arched sashes in moulded surrounds, windows to recess have paired columns between. Entrances in centre returns: part-glazed, double doors with semi-circular-arched heads, glazing has Y-tracery, doors have lower raised and fielded panels with bolection mouldings. The tiles are richly coloured and in a variety of patterns: those o dado have star pattern, those to frieze have Greek key. HISTORICAL NOTE: the Vulcan Iron Works, manufacturers of railway equipment, operated from the south side of Shrub Hill Road from 1857; by 1903 the company was known as McKenzie and Holland. The two platforms and four lines of rails at Shrub Hill Station wee originally covered by a curved roof of wrought-iron lattice girders and glazed on the ridge-and-furrow principle; this was removed c1936.

Interesting find at Shrub Hill. Does anyone use waiting rooms any more?
