Mortimer Station

Mortimer Station is a railway station built in 1848 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Railway. It is constructed of red brick with stock brick strings and surrounds around the openings, topped with a hipped slate roof that has deeply projecting eaves supported by cut brackets. The station is a single storey building.

The entrance front features a pair of central four-panelled doors with a fanlight above, which has radiating glazing bars and is set under a round arched head. This entrance is flanked by two groups of three single light windows with similar arched heads. A continuous projecting string course connects the doors and windows at the impost level, creating impost blocks. The platform front mirrors this design.

On the north side, the return elevation consists of three bays, including two four-panelled doors with fanlights and a central round-headed window with glazing bars and a stone cill. Mortimer Station is located on the Reading to Basingstoke line, which was constructed under Brunel's personal direction. Originally part of the Berks and Hants Extension Railway, it was taken over by the Great Western Railway before its completion. This station is noted for being one of the most unaltered of Brunel's wayside stations.
