Chertsey Railway Station Building

Chertsey Railway Station building dates from 1866 to 1868 and was constructed for the London and South-Western Railway. The design is believed to be based on earlier prototypes by Sir William Tite for the same railway company. The building is constructed of London stock brick with stucco architraves to the window openings, and has a slate roof with overhanging eaves supported by brackets. Brick stacks are present. The sash windows feature central vertical glazing bars and horns. The front elevation has seven bays with projecting two-bay end wings featuring brick quoins. A moulded band runs along the first floor, and a canopy extends across the ground floor of the recessed central wing. Segmental arches with keystones and shouldered architraves are above the first-floor windows, while flat arches with similarly shaped architraves frame the ground-floor windows in the side wings. The central wing features semi-circular arched arcading with brick pilasters and stuccoed impost bands and arches, defining the ground-floor openings including the central doorway. A brick wing with a parapet and windows in round-arched arcading is located to the right and left. The platform elevation mirrors the entrance elevation, with doorways in the inner bays of the end wings and a projecting canopy at first-floor level above the platform.
