Trowse Railway Station

This former railway station was built between 1844 and 1845. The building is constructed of roughly-coursed knapped flint walls with white Costessey brick dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof covering timber shingles. It runs along a north-south axis, arranged in a somewhat symmetrical plan of seven sections. The central section is one-and-a-half storeys high, and from this, three diminishing single-storey sections extend to the north and south. Each section has a steeply-pitched slate roof, diminishing in height towards the north and south ends, and features a waved bargeboard to its gable. The southernmost section has a raised, ventilated roof. There are six gault brick chimney stacks: three to the north of the booking hall, generally on the ridge line and over a dividing wall; two on the south wall of the booking hall; and one on a dividing wall south of the booking hall. The walls step back approximately 2 metres from the central section, then an additional 0.5 metres for each subsequent diminishing single-storey section. The central section, which housed the booking hall, has two mullion and transom windows on the first floor, and three slender sash windows on the ground floor, with the central window being taller. The north elevation of the former booking hall features a larger six-over-six pane sash window, while the south elevation has a door that formerly provided access from the booking hall to the platform. The diminishing sections to the north and south also have slender sash windows and doors, currently concealed by vegetation. Access to the site was restricted in September 2021, limiting views. Interior access was also restricted at that time.
