REDRUTH STATION HILL (south side) Waiting room on down platform of Redruth Railway Station

29.9.87

GV II

Station waiting room. 1888, for Great Western Railway Company. Timber frame and cladding, with cast-iron brackets to the canopy. Shallow rectangular plan of seven bays, but with the monopitched roof cantilevered over the platform as a deep canopy (except in the seventh bay, which may be an addition). The roof is carried by pairs of stop-chamfered posts, with cast-iron brackets to the cantilever beams, and the first bay is open, forming a porch to the entrance gateway and to the footbridge (q.v.); the other bays have lapped weatherboard walls, with double doors in the fourth bay, single doors in the fifth and sixth, and four-pane sashed windows in the second, third, and sixth. The canopy has a deep fretted valance and moulded cornice. Beyond it at the right-hand end is a seventh bay in matching materials, with two small high-set windows in the front and a doorway in the end wall (probably an office store, or cloakroom). The rear has four-pane sashed windows in the fourth and fifth bays.

HISTORY: Redruth station opened on 25 August 1852 as part of the West Cornwall Railway. The main station building on the up platform was of timber construction, with a large goods shed adjoining it on the south-west. On the down platform was a simple open shelter. A footbridge was added by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1888, possibly at the same time as the downside shelter was replaced with a new wooden building and canopy and as part of improvements connected with the dualling of the line.
