The original station building was of typical Francis Thompson Italianate design.

A terrace of four cottages is shown on Ordnance Survey maps as "Railway Cottages" long after all other traces of the old station and its small goods yard had been removed.

The new station had typical Midland Railway timber panelled buildings.

These had access to three major collieries - Grimethorpe, Dearne Valley and Houghton Main - and connected to the GCR and L&Y lines.
