II

Railway station, now disused. 1856 for the Caterham Railway, architect Richard Whittall, enlarged c.1873. Squared stone with ashlar dressings. Render, tiled roofs. Gothic style. T-shaped plan with projecting porch. The entrance front has a large porch with a very steeply pitched roof on shaped wooden posts, a collar beam supports curved struts. Doorway with a plank door in a 2-centred arch. The porch is flanked by a single stack to the left and a double one to the right. They project in red brick through the very steeply pitched roof with two diminishing stages and weathered caps. The elevation to the left has blocked windows, but 4 light below and 2 light in the acutely angled gable which has projecting timber bargeboards. The gable is filled by mock timber framing with render infill. Two storey wing to left with ridge stack. The platform elevation is similar to the gable but the wing is single storey with a blocked 4-light window and steeply pitched roof above. c1873 single storey rendered extension to right with a blocked double sash window and flat roof. The chimney of this section has been demolished. Interior not inspected. History: The Caterham Railway was opened in 1856 as a single line from Purley to Caterham and this was the original Kenley station. The line was doubled in 1899 by the South Eastern Railway who had bought the line in 1859. The present station and footbridge were built at the time of doubling. The old station then became the station-master's house but it is now disused. References: C.Awdry, Encyclopaedia of British Railway Companies, Patrick Stephens Limited, 1990, p 181.
