Description
The South Platform Building at the railway station in Bradford on Avon was constructed in 1848 for the Wiltshire, Somerset and Weymouth Railway. It is built from Bath stone ashlar and features a stone-coped Welsh slate roof with a stone stack at the rear. The building has a rectangular plan and is designed in the Tudor Gothic style, consisting of one storey.
The south elevation showcases raised quoins at the corners and around the former open-fronted waiting room. It includes decorative cast-iron brackets supporting a flat canopy with a fret-cut hood. On the west (left-hand) return, there is a boarded canted bay window, while the right return features two panelled doors set within chamfered four-centred architraves. The rear (north) elevation has chamfered mullioned and transomed windows. The interior has not been inspected. This building is one of two that form a notable "Brunel-type" group.
