Description

Creetown Railway Station, designed by Sir James Gowans around 1860, is a single-storey station office and waiting room that is currently in a state of severe disrepair. The building features polygonal masonry with red sandstone ashlar used for horizontal and vertical band courses and copings. Its asymmetrical elevations include doorways that are stepped in, with bracketted lintels. There is a 5-light window on the side of the former platform. The eaves are supported by ashlar brackets and consoles. An advanced chimney breast is located at the gable end, with only one gabletted stack remaining on the dividing wall.

Local climate

Creetown Railway Station sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,370 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
