Info
Culham station was opened on 12th June 1844 and the Old Ticket Office is all that remains of the original station buildings. The signal box was closed in 1961, with the broad gauge goods shed and waiting room on platform 1 being removed during 1972. The old footbridge was declared unsafe but the original cast iron pillars survived and now support its replacement. Culham ticket office is one of the best preserved of Brunel’s characteristic small country stations, and the only survivor of this particular Tudor Revival design. It was saved when given Grade II* listing by English Heritage on 20th May 1975 shortly after closing to the public. Since early 2014 the building has been occupied by Entikera Ltd. trading online as 'Mpfineartprinting.co.uk' and specialising in fine art Giclee & photographic printing, digital fine art reproduction and picture framing. The dedicated website 'culhamticketoffice.co.uk' contains a wealth of historical information, photographs and model sheets to make.
