Description

Bucknell Railway Station is a railway station dated 1860, with some minor later additions and alterations. It is constructed of rock-faced limestone ashlar and features machine tile roofs adorned with fish scale bands and ornamental cresting. The station has elaborately cusped bargeboards on its overhanging verges, along with stone ridge and end stacks topped with octagonal ceramic chimney pots. The building is one and two storeys high and has wooden mullioned and transomed windows throughout.

On the left side, there is a lower range that includes three bracketed gabled canopies; the central canopy covers an infilled doorway, while the left and right canopies are above windows. A canted bay window is located on the left gable end, featuring a blank stone shield in a recess above it. The central section has a prominent, slightly projecting gable on the left, which contains a window on each floor and a datestone marked "1860" set in a recessed quatrefoil at the apex. To the right, there are two windows on each floor, with the upper right window situated in a steeply pitched gable that breaks the eaves. The lower section on the right has a window on the ground floor, and a flat-roofed single-storey range to the right includes a window on the left and two pointed doorways with boarded doors. The station was built for the Knighton Railway, which was engineered by Henry Robertson.
