Kingswear Station

Kingswear Station is a railway station dating from approximately 1864. It was constructed as part of the Dartmouth and Torbay line, with work on the section from Churston to Kingswear beginning in 1862 and completed in 1864. The station building is a horizontally boarded timber frame structure with a rendered plinth. It has a corrugated asbestos hipped roof with projecting eaves and a moulded cornice, as well as rendered chimney stacks on the ridge. The building is rectangular, comprising an entrance ticket office, waiting room, offices, and platforms behind, with a train shed covering the platforms and line. A long platform extends to the northeast with a canopy.

The entrance front, which is eight windows wide and asymmetrical, features tall two-light casements with glazing bars, plain timber architraves and aprons. Two doors are present with matching surrounds, rectangular fanlights and panelled, glazed doors. A flat-roofed wooden canopy extends over the front, featuring a moulded cornice, zigzag fascia, and a boarded soffit, concealing iron brackets. The train shed over the platforms and line has boarded sides and timber trusses with iron rod bracing, clad in corrugated asbestos with a glazed ridge. The platform extending to the northeast is supported by iron lattice piers and has a canopy.
