context_page_description: York old railway station is a former railway station in the city of York, England. It is a Grade II* listed building.
context_section_description: The station was built in an Italianate style.  Its main facade, a symmetrical seventeen-bay three-storey block, faces Tanner Row and Toft Green.  The ground floor is of carboniferous limestone and the upper floors are brick with stone dressings.  Behind this are the remains of the train-shed, which was of iron construction and was largely demolished in 1965.  Beyond the shed, by the city wall, are brick buildings which housed the refreshment rooms and waiting rooms.  They originally consisted of only one storey, but an upper storey was added in 1850.
  Andrews also designed the hotel across the head of the lines on Station Rise.  This was completed in 1853 and was the first hotel to be incorporated into a railway station.  After a visit by Queen Victoria, it was named "The Royal Station Hotel".
