Brandon - Railway Station from forecourt

Built in 1844-5 and attributed to John Thomas (1813-1862). Originally symmetrical, but extended to left and right in the 1870s and 1880s.

The station became unstaffed in 1967 and the building, vacant since 2004, was under threat of demolition, but received Grade II listing in August 2020: historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1471392 ; www.savebritainsheritage.org/campaigns/item/665/PRESS-RELEASE-Dads-Army-station-saved-by-listing .
