Mid 19th century railway station, Stansted Mountfitchet, London to Cambridge railway (EHER 41103)

Built in 1845, the two-storey station house, on the down side platform, is of red brick with white brick dressings under a slate roof with clay ridge tiles. The original single storey lean-to on the south-west side has been partly extended to two storeys and a two-storey extension to the north-east end was added, probably in the 1850s. The platform canopies are different in pitch and support reflecting their different building dates. The station was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.

Built in 1845, the two-storey station house, on the down side platform, is of red brick with white brick dressings under a slate roof with clay ridge tiles. The original single storey lean-to on the south-west side has been partly extended to two storeys and a two-storey extension to the north-east end was added, probably in the 1850s. The platform canopies are different in pitch and support reflecting their different building dates. The original canopy is supported on large brackets from the station house wall, while the later canopy on the platform side of the 1850s extension (although built in 1889/90) is supported on cast-iron columns and brackets. The up-side platform has a timber waiting room of 1889/90 and a long canopy supported on cast- iron columns of the same design as those of the same age on the down side platform. <1> See: <2> <3>
