Railway magazine 1901, for scaling there are x3 200fts along the bottom making the frontage 600ft long

 

or better, this one found online a while back

Be careful these are the original plans with the covered carriage drive the the full length of the station.

Thanks, useful plans but it is really the height of the roof I am interested in. Can't find any reference anywhere

Found this NER drawing online, but too blurred to read dimensions. ken Hoole Rail centres book states three spans of 61ft 4 inches.

its a bit contrived but you could work out the length of the span from the map and then work out the height from the length

I have taken a screenshot of the above drawing and put it into CAD and based on the Ken Hoole 61ft 4 ins dimension of the span, I get a ballpark figure of 57 ft to the pinicle of the centre span.
