Another view of the main station building with the First Class waiting room's bay window on the right. John Copsey writes 'The station booking office and hall was in that portion of the building behind the canopy'. To the right and set further back behind the First Class waiting room, ' were the lavatories, whilst the edge of the refreshment room can just be seen on the extreme right'. The style of the building was said to be 'strongly built of brick and plaster, in the Anglo-Italian style'. The parcels office is on the extreme left which was adjacent to the bay platform used for trains to Stratford upon Avon. The parcels office handled 74,542 items in 1903, a number which increased to 99,615 in 1913 a number which was more or the less the same in 1923. However by 1933 the number of items being handled had increased to 123,473.
