Description

The Railway Convalescent Home was built in 1910 by H Thackeray Turner. It is a two-storey building with rendered gables and a tiled roof. The chimney stacks are a mix of rendered and brick materials. The front elevation features three gables, and the left side has arcading. A porch is located under the central gable, and the windows are designed with either mullions or a combination of mullions and transoms.

Local climate

Railway Convalescent Home sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
