Appraisal
Oldcastle's former railway station was designed in an Italianate style and retains many original features. High quality craftsmanship is apparent in the dressing and detailing of the masonry. Attached to the former station master's house to the east and to the platform building to the north, this building is part of an integral group. Other related railway structures include the former warehouse, and the disused railway bridge to the east. |
