Canopy
In addition to the humble booking office, there was a large open roof known as the "Great Canopy" that survived until 1979 when it was deemed unsafe and removed. The stansions for this canopy are now used as flag poles and/or lampposts and it can clearly be seen where this once was. The canopy, although erected by the railway's owners, actually provided cover the tramcars of the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway which also terminates here; the canopy originally featured detailed and intricate metalwork culminating in a central clock tower, distinctive on many early views, but latterly this was removed and a plain roof replaced it.
