Newbury Park Station Bus Shelter

Newbury Park Station Bus Shelter is a bus shelter built between 1947 and 1949, designed by Oliver Hill for London Transport.

The structure is made of reinforced concrete with a vaulted design, using pebble aggregate from Chesil Beach, and features a roof clad in copper panels. It has a rectangular plan, positioned perpendicular to Eastern Avenue to the south, with the shelter located to the west of the plot. This arrangement allows for a turning circle for buses to the north and entrance and exit points to the south.

The exterior presents a broad hangar-type shelter, with open sides that showcase seven semi-circular vaults covered in copper cladding. The vaulting spans approximately 60 meters wide and includes strip light fittings and copper shields mounted on the underside of the roof on both sides. An 'Award of Merit' plaque, featuring the 1951 Festival of Britain Abram Grahams motif, is affixed to the southern face of the vault facing Eastern Avenue.

It is important to note that the walls and portals with Bostwick gates leading into the attached underground station ticket hall and its ancillary offices on the west side of the shelter are specifically excluded from this listing.
