Description
The Station Goods Shed is a former engine shed, now used as a warehouse, built between 1838 and 1840 for the London to Brighton Railway, possibly designed by David Mocatta, who created the original railway buildings for this line. The building is in a classical style, constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings. The roof is now covered in 20th-century pantiles and the structure measures 15 bays in length.
At each end, there are stone pediments featuring red brick oculi, which have been bricked in. A dentil cornice runs along the top. The south end has two round-headed stone arches with keystones, both now bricked in, but one has a later 19th-century sash window with vertical glazing bars and a 20th-century window. Flanking pilasters are present on this side. The north end features three round-headed arches with keystones; the central arch remains open while the side arches are blocked.
On the west side, there is a central round-headed arch with a keystone, which is now bricked in. The south side has six windows that retain round-headed metal casements, while on the north side, only the upper halves of the windows are visible due to bricking in of the lower parts. The east side also has a central arch that is bricked in, along with round-headed windows where only the top halves are visible.
The interior has a suspended late 20th-century ceiling, but the original roof structure likely still exists above. This building is depicted on maps from 1838-1840 and is significant as the only original building of the London to Brighton Railway that has survived in Surrey, one of only two early railway lines built in the county.
