Description
Smallford Station is a railway station that has been converted into an office building. It was constructed in 1866 for the Great Northern Railway. The building features a timber-framed structure with a weatherboarded exterior and a roof covered in Welsh slate. It is a single-storey building with two plain doors and two 4 over 4 pane sash windows with vertical glazing bars on the road elevation. The hipped roof has an external brick stack on the left-hand gable and a ridge stack at the right-hand end. The platform elevation also has two doors and three windows similar to those on the road side. The interior has not been inspected.
Originally opened as Springfield in February 1866, the station was part of the Great Northern Railway branch from Hatfield to St Albans. It was renamed Smallford on 1st October 1879 and closed on 1st October 1951. This building is a little-altered example of a small wayside station built by the Great Northern Railway in 1866, making it a rare survival of this type of structure.
