Description

Cardington Railway Station is a railway station built in the late 19th century, first mentioned in the Post Office Directory of 1869. It is constructed from yellow gault brick with polychrome brick dressings, and the platform elevation is partly rendered. The station features 20th-century tile roofs and is designed in a simplified Venetian Gothic style. The main block is T-shaped, consisting of two storeys with a gable end facing the platform, and a single-storey, five-bay block to the southeast.

All openings have polychrome brick semicircular heads and semicircular hood moulds with decorative stops. Most windows are paired single lights, featuring cast iron casements with a geometric design. The passenger entrance is located in the northeastern elevation, through a six-panel door at the easternmost bay of the lower block. The eaves are adorned with a polychrome dentil cornice, and the gables are decorated with pierced wavy-edged and cusped bargeboards. There are three paired stacks, one at the intersection of the blocks and two on the two-storey block. The lower block, which is positioned at an angle to the platform side, has coped gablets above its openings but is otherwise similar to the rest of the building.
