STATION ROAD
Thurston Railway Station

GV
II
Former railway station on the Bury St Edmunds to Ipswich line. 1846, by Frederick Barnes of Ipswich for the Ipswich, Bury and Norwich Railway. In the Baroque manner. Red brick with quoins and dressings of gault brick. A band of gault brick at first and second floors and beneath upper window cills. Roofs mainly plaintiled, partly slated. Chimneys of red brick with gault brick quoins.
Complex plan form: three-storey centre block, deeply recessed between two narrow three-storey wings; two-storey ranges of one window to left and right. Ground storey windows with flat arches of gauged brick and small-pane casements. The hipped-roofed centre block has a large window with wooden mullions and transomes at the upper levels. The parapet-gabled wings have tall round-headed windows with keystones of gault brick, above oeil-de-boeuf windows with four keystones. All windows have splayed heads and reveals. An open entrance porch with three archways on brick piers: the central archway has rusticated voussoirs and is much the widest and highest. A parapet over the entrance links the two wings, and has moulded stone copings; the shouldered segmental form follows the radius of the arch below. Although the station building is separately occupied, the platform remains in use with a canopy cantilevered on cast iron columns: the valance is renewed at the front in plain vertical boarding, but at the side retains its scalloped profile.
