This is a series of similar designed stations, constructed over a period of about 25 years by the LB&SCR. Centred around Sussex, the design is termed "Brighton Domestic" by Wikeley and Middleton in their book "Railway Stations Southern Region". The basic design is of two pavilions joined by a hall, one pavilion typically forming the ticket office, and the other, usually two storey, forming the station master's house. The hall typically forms the booking hall. These examples have suffered to various degrees. Lingfield is a good, virtually complete example, as is Edenbridge town although the latter has a derelict former station master's house. Unfortunately the former station master's house at Dormans was destroyed by fire in early 2005, although this part of the station is in private ownership. At Cowden the former station master's house survives in private ownership and at Hever the entire station building is now in private ownership. A severe remodelling has taken place at Buxted where the entire station master's house has been demolished. This is not so severe as at Ashurst (q.v) where the entire station buildings have been demolished. The style is typified by semicircular or segmental brick arched windows and dentil brick coursing to the gables. |
