I had occassion to visit this establishment for the first time today.
It looks though it was a grand edifice that has been somewhat eviscerated over the years.
Art Gallery seems to occupy half of what was the station, and I suspect the old Hotel is probably the disused part attatched to platform one.
Having said that the interior is clean and it actually has a BTP office with an enquiry desk that was open.
One strange thing no "branded" retail outlets Traveline not WHS for Newsagents and an Independent Cafe. This is suprising on a "biggish" station.
