Sites and Monument Record: Denny Station (SMR 1162)
Object detail
Site type
Site history notes
Opened by the Scottish Central Railway on 1 April 1858 and closed to passenger traffic on 28 July 1930 but continued to carry freight to the paper-mills until July 1964. The line also served Bonnybridge Power Station, the Herbertshire Collieries and the Denny foundries.
All that remains is the stationmaster's house. The building appears on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey map for the area, which suggests that it was constructed in 1858 for the opening of Denny Station. At that time, and until fairly recently, there were extensive single storey railway stores attached to its east side.
The main façade faces west onto Stirling Road and is relatively ornate. It is of two storeys, with symmetrically arranged fenestration. In the centre is the doorway and there are single windows to either side, each of the upper ones placed within gablets set within dormers topped with upright wooden final posts. The slated roof has broad eaves. It is built of snecked rubble with a chamfered plinth course and the voids are all chamfered, the doorway having a cavetto head. There is an ashlar chimney stack on either gable with moulded heads, both having stepped corbelling at their bases. The east side is much altered due to the removal of the extensions.
