Historic Georges Plains Railway Station

The Historic Georges Plains Railway Station, established on November 1, 1876, is a heritage-listed site in New South Wales, Australia. The brick station building, dating from 1876, is a type 1, sub-type 2 structure. The platform faces are made of brick, and the dock platform also survives. The timber, skillion-roofed signal box dates from 1913. The platform signs and some station plantings are also within the heritage listing. There is also a timber shed within the station precinct. The station was reported to be in fair to good condition in 2005, with some loose roofing iron observed. It is one of six similar structures to survive in an intact form, all of which had variations in expression and detail. Although the station building has been extended and minor changes have been made to the site, it is a relatively intact small country station in good condition with an overall historic and visual unity that enhances its significance. The structures form, with the nearby classified Anglican church, a strong visual statement in the landscape and townscape, particularly when viewed from the level crossing to the north. Georges Plains railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on April 2, 1999.
