Abstract: |
An historic building record was carried out on a former railway goods shed at Ash Road, Campsea Ashe, Suffolk, for Bloor Homes Limited ahead of its demolition and the redevelopment of the site. The goods shed was probably constructed in 1859 when the station opened and it was operating until the mid 20th century, from which point it had a variety of uses including a garage and an antiques showroom. The exterior had several modern extensions built against three sides and the interior had been altered to suit its later uses. Despite the alterations, which had been relatively lightweight and largely non-intrusive into the original structure, it was possible to adequately record and understand the original building. The building is a simple structure consisting of a large main shed and small extensions on either end. The main shed had railway doors at either end and two loading doors for the transfer of goods onto road traffic in its long, north-west wall. Overall the building is a nice, but unremarkable, example of mid- to late-19th-century railway architecture. |
