Description
No. 3A-3F Emlyn Square is a pair of commercial premises, now converted into flats, built in 1847 for the Great Western Railway Company. Designed as part of a village created by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to accommodate workers for the railway works, the construction of this area began in 1842 and continued into the 1850s. The buildings are made of ashlar limestone with a slate roof, featuring two storeys and three bays. They have a heavy moulded continuous hood moulding over the ground floor openings and casement windows with top long lights, all set within chamfered ashlar surrounds. Notably, there is no gable at the splayed corner, and the building returns to Oxford Street. This structure is similar in style to No. 1 Emlyn Square. The village is recognized as one of Britain’s best-preserved and architecturally ambitious railway settlements.
