Description
Crewkerne Railway Station is a railway station built in 1859 for the opening of the London and South-Western Railway in 1860, likely designed by Sir William Tite. The station features ham stone ashlar construction and has steeply-pitched Welsh slate roofs with ornamental clay tile ridges and very high coped gables, along with stone chimney stacks.
The building is mostly single storey, but the station-master's house is three storeys with an attic. The north roadside elevation has seven bays, with the second bay being the house, which has a lean-to extension to the east. Bays three, four, and five contain the ticket office and entrance throughway, while bay six is an office crosswing and bay seven consists of double-roof plan offices.
Designed in the High Victorian gothic style, the station has a plinth and chamfered mullioned windows with plain sashes. The lean-to features a two-light window above and two single-light windows below. The house has a four-centre arched doorway to the left with incised spandrels under a label with a deep drop, and a three-light window to the right. Above, there is a single-light and a three-light window on the first floor, and a three-light window on the second floor in a pointed segmental-arched opening, with a slim gable vent in the attic. Bays three, four, and seven have two-light windows, while bay six has a three-light window with a shield plaque in the gable above. Bay five features a moulded segmental arched doorway.
The south platform side matches the north, with the date 1859 displayed in the crosswing gable. There is a simple platform canopy supported by cast iron columns, although the west end bay has been rebuilt.
