Former Hadleigh Railway Station

The former Hadleigh Railway Station dates to circa 1847 and is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with buff brick dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with parapeted gable ends. The station was built as part of the Eastern Union Railway branch line from Bentley to Hadleigh, which opened in 1847 and closed in 1966.

The building is designed in an Italianate style. The front range is symmetrical with a central entrance flanked by Venetian windows. The doorway has a keyblock and double doors with glazed panels. The front range features red brick gable end stacks with buff brick dressings, set-offs, coupled shafts backed by narrow arches, and moulded cornices. Tall lateral stacks are present on the lower range behind the front one. A wooden bracketed cornice extends over the centre of the front range, creating a canopy supported by ornate cast-iron brackets. Set back at the left and right hand ends are small single-storey blocks with parapets and brick quoins, each featuring a small round-headed window with a keyblock and three similar windows on the sides.

Behind the front range is a lower and longer parallel range with a platform canopy. The rear gable ends have Venetian windows, and the canopy is supported by cast-iron columns with pierced spandrel brackets and a fretted wooden valance. A modern wooden building is situated under the canopy, but the original canopy structure remains intact. The interior has not been inspected, but may contain original furnishings.
