Full Description
The Crossing Keepers Cottage is a single-storey house, possibly designed by G. T. Andrews to house the crossing keeper, a signaller who controls the level crossing. The 1892 ordnance survey map appears to show a small signal box on the other side of the road to the house. The building fell out of use when the rail station closed in 1964 and has since been converted into a private dwelling. Along with the Station House and Engine Shop, it still holds historic and evidential value as a remnant of railway history and the villages’ links with the railway network.
