1960s railway station, Stanford-le-Hope (EHER 80905)

A 1960s railway station that is scheduled to be demolished and replaced.

April 2017. Desk-based assessment. In 1960, a planning application was approved by Thurrock District Council for the reconstruction of the Stanford-le-Hope station. The original station to the north of London Road was demolished and was redeveloped into a station car park. A new station was constructed over the site of the Railway Cottages, which were demolished as a part of the design of the new station. The new station was triangular in plan, and included a pedestrian walkover pathway across the tracks, the plans of which can be found in the Essex Record Office. Since the construction of the new railway station in the early 1960s there has been relatively little change to the PDA. In 1975, the left luggage area within the main station building was converted into a newsagent's kiosk, and in the 2000s, a stand-alone gated enclosure for automated ticket barriers was constructed to the west of the railway tracks. <1>
