Former Goods Shed at Singleton Station

The Former Goods Shed at Singleton Station is an 1881 structure built for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, designed by T H Myres of Preston. It is made of red brick in English bond, featuring a brick moulded cornice and plinth, and has a hipped tiled roof with terra cotta ridge tiles.

The building has an almost rectangular plan, consisting of a goods shed that is four bays long and two bays wide, with double doors at both ends and a small office at the south-west end.

On the north-west side, there are four full-height pilasters that separate four wooden Tudor style mullioned and transomed panels. The two central panels have four lights each, while the outer panels have five lights, all adorned with quatrefoil motifs on the transomes and incised snowdrop and bluebell decorations on the mullions. The north-east end features one five-light similar panel and a full-height double door with iron hinges in the northern bay. The south-east side has two central four-bay panels and double sliding doors at each end, which originally provided access to the goods platform. A fretted wooden canopy supported by large wooden brackets on stone corbels extends over this side. The south-west end includes full-height double doors in the northern bay and an attached lower office in the southern bay, which has a moulded brick chimneystack and a cambered headed six-light sash window on both the north-west and south-east sides.

Inside, the shed features a wooden kingpost roof and retains an internal hand crane.
