1846 Station Building at Wansford Station

The 1846 Station Building at Wansford Station, formerly known as the main building of Wansford Railway Station, is a Grade II listed structure. Designed in the Jacobean style by J.W. Livock and built by Thompson of Barnack for the London and North Western Railway on the Northampton-Peterborough line, this building is constructed of fine coursed limestone rubble with freestone and ashlar dressings, topped with Welsh slated roofs.

The building is two storeys high and originally featured a waiting room and booking hall on the ground floor, with accommodation for the station master above, although these have been modified over time. The symmetrical facades consist of three bays with slightly projecting cross wings.

On the north facade, there are shaped parapet gables with apex and kneeler finials, along with an ogee gable to a semi oriel. The three central doorways are round-headed arches with console keystones, linked to the cross wing doorways by a moulded cornice band. The first floor has three two-light mullioned and transomed casement windows. The building features two side stacks, a ridge stack, and one internal stack with rebuilt brick shafts.

The south facade mirrors the north but includes Venetian windows in the wings and side screens, each with central doorways featuring round-headed arches. The right-hand door is shaped to an arch with six flush panels, while the left-hand door is a replacement. There are two doorways flanking a central window with round-headed arches, with the left-hand doorway blocked. A former canopy was removed in 1957 when the station closed, and the building was sold in 1967.
