Description

Bridgend Railway Station's west platform building is a single-storey structure built from bull-nosed rubble with tooled freestone dressings, which include eaves, a compost band, and plinth banding. The modern roof projects over the platform and the former main entrance, featuring very wide bracket eaves. The entrance has panelled doors, and there are semicircular arched openings that are paired for later extensions, with bracketed cills and later sash and pivot glazing. The roof extends at the northwest end to the platform side, covering a passage between the main building and a similar style square block with two windows.
