The old Town Station is a stone building of unusual two storey design in Victorian Gothic style. It was reputedly designed by Brunel and R P Brereton. It was built in 1841 by GWR as the terminal of the single track branch line from Kemble to Cirencester. It closed in 1965 and is now owned by the District Council. The platform area is still easy to see.
