Main Building To Great Chesterford Railway Station

The main building of Great Chesterford railway station was constructed around 1845 by Francis Thompson, a railway architect of the early 19th century. Contemporary accounts in "The Builder" attributed the designs of both Great Chesterford and Audley End stations to Thompson. The building is a rectangular structure built of yellow gault brick, featuring a parapet, a stucco band, and a simple cornice. It stands two storeys high. The front and platform faces each have five window bays, with double-hung sash windows containing glazing bars, set within plain stucco architraves with cornices. Ground-floor windows have been altered with horizontal glazing bars. The north and south ends each have a single window range. A 20th-century canopy is present on the platform, supported by original "gallows" angle brackets featuring moulded pendants.
