Description
Huntingdon Railway Station was opened in 1849 and is likely designed by Lewis Cubitt. It has seen little alteration since its opening, although it was modernised between 1960 and 1961. The station is constructed of gault brick with slate roofs and features a single-storey main block along with a parcels office and a station-master's house at the north end. The central section has a layout of 1:3:1 bays, with the outer bays set forward. It includes arched sash windows with radiating heads and a square-headed central doorway. To the left, there are three additional bays that house the parcels office, and a canopy covers the central portion. The up platform has a similar frontage, supported by cast-iron columns that hold a later canopy. The station-master's house is cement rendered, two storeys high with three windows, canted bays on the ground floor, and sash windows with glazing bars above. It has bracketed eaves and a slate roof. The original iron footbridge remains, except for its corrugated iron roofing, as does the waiting room building on the down platform. The station was originally named Huntingdon North on the Great Northern Railway.
