Gilbert Scott, R.A...The contractors are Messrs. Jackson and Shaw...The length of front already built is 335 ft.,...the entire completion of the edifice will give 175 ft. additional frontage, the western wing to be curved forward, and to meet the public road at its extremity (which is seen at the left-hand side)...The principal features of the facade...are the two lofty towers with their ornamental turrets and pinnacles; three beautiful oriels, one in the clock-tower, the other two relieving the long line of the main front, which are surmounted by tall battlemented gables in the roof; and two arched gateways over the carriage-roads leading respectively to the arrival and the departure railway platforms....[The directors] have caused the building materials, so far as possible, to be obtained from places accessible by the Midland Railway'.
