Main building on east side of track at Audley End Railway Station (EHER 36774)

Mid 19th century railway station building, by Francis Thompson. The station was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.

Monument description derived from merging EHER 2013. Heritage assessment. Audley End Station is also described in <1> as it was the western terminus of the Saffron Walden Branch Line. The branch line halt and platform are extant in the car park and again are described in the Saffron Walden Branch report. The main line station has a Grade II listed station building of 1845 by Francis Thompson. It is a rectangular two storey yellow gault brick building with a parapet behind which is a low- pitched roof. Windows are sashes with semi-circular-arched, radially-glazed windows. The east front has a porte-cochere with stucco arches and coursed pillars. There is a late 20th century single-storey extension on the north end in a similar style to the original. Also on the up-platform is a 1980s waiting room, again built in similar materials to the main station building and in sympathy with the original design and style. The original footbridge was replaced in the 1980s during electrification of the line by the present one which has concrete stairs and a steel span. <2> See also: <3>
