Cressington Station

Cressington Station is a railway station built in 1873 for the Cheshire Lines Committee, originally known as Grassendale and Cressington Station. The building is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof with two storeys. The central section has pierced bargeboards on the gable and panelled doors. It includes arched windows with four single lights above and two lights below, all of which are sash windows. There is a single-storey wing at each end of the station that has similar windows and a pierced eaves cornice. The station is topped with tall moulded chimneys. On the opposite side, there is a small platform shelter that has a half-hipped roof, a canopy supported by pierced cast-iron brackets, arched windows, an ornamental valance, and bargeboards. The station was built to serve two private estates, Cressington Park and Grassendale Park.
