Crediton Station, Crediton, Devon - April 08, 1982

Crediton railway station has two platforms and includes four Grade II listed buildings and a Grade II listed footbridge which dates from 1847 to 1878. The main building on the up (to Exeter) platform was built in 1847 and is constructed in Flemish-bonded red brick with Bath stone dressings and a gabled slate roof. It has been claimed to be an Isambard Kingdom Brunel design however the engineer for the Exeter and Crediton Railway was Robert Dymond and this would have been his responsibility. The timber waiting rooms on both platforms might date from 1862 as they are of London and South Western Railway design. The signal box on the north side of the line beyond the level crossing dates from 1875 (although the listed building records suggests 1862).
