Description
Frome Station's main building dates from around 1850 and was designed by J.R. Hannaford. It is constructed entirely of wood and features a train shed that covers both tracks. The building has an aisled layout supported by wooden posts and a wooden ceiling. The roof is made of corrugated iron and includes a full-length glazed vent. On the upside, there are offices, and the building is a single storey with seven wooden casements, arranged in two and three-light configurations. An original bracketed canopy extends over the entrance, and the hipped roof is also made of corrugated iron, with red brick stacks.
This station is largely unaltered and represents a small station from its period. It is likely the last through train shed of its type still in use on the Western Region. The railway line was built by the Wiltshire, Somerset and Weymouth Railway and opened on 9 September 1850, having been taken over by the Great Western Railway before its opening.
