I am not sure of the original function of this building. It was obviously part of the fabric of the original Great Eastern Railway terminus station, and the size of it suggests that it was an hotel. There is a view of the rear of the building, from the station side, probably in its Edwardian heyday, in the archive of the local photographic firm of Putmans here http://www.putmans.co.uk/OldWalton_sundry_Assetts/935-Railway-Station.jpg Another from Putmans again here http://www.putmans.co.uk/OldWalton_sundry_Assetts/928-Station-Lounge%20and%20Garden.jpg show it as a public house called the Station Lounge.
