Description
The former Brendon Hill Mineral Railway Station, now used as a store, was built in 1861 and altered in the late 20th century. The building is rendered over red sandstone and features rusticated quoins, a plinth, and door and window surrounds. It has a hipped slate roof, a brick stack on the left, deep projecting eaves on the facade, and lower gabled wings with independent roofs. The station is a single storey with a layout of 1:2:1 bays, wooden casements, and a right wing that has a 20th-century window inserted into an earlier doorway opening, likely for a WC. The central entrance has three-quarter glazed double doors. The eaves are supported at the ends by 20th-century rendered walls with sidelights, which replaced the original timber supports. The Brendon iron mines opened in 1851, and the final section of the mineral railway to the coast, including the incline from Camberow to the summit at Brendon Hill, opened in 1861. Mining activities ceased in 1910.
