Carrigtohill Railway Station

Detached three-bay single-storey former railway station, built 1859, with flat-roofed extension to east elevation. Closed 1963. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack and timber eaves. Red brick walls with rock-faced rusticated limestone quoins. Square-headed openings with render surrounds and remains of double-leaf timber doors, one having raised lettering.

Though disused, this railway station is a fine example of the quality of craftsmanship employed by the railway authority in the construction of their utilitarian structures throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century. The use of red brick together with carved limestone quoins provides textural interest and chromatic variation. "LADIES WAITING ROOM" is inscribed on one of the timber doors indicating the original layout and social usage of the station. It is one of a series of related railway structures including the railway bridge and station master's house, which together form a pleasing group in the landscape.
