The old ticket office at Culham is one of the best preserved of Brunel’s characteristic and charmingly designed small country station buildings, and the only survivor of this particular Tudor Revival design. The office is Grade II* listed and retains many of it's original features including, large fireplace, glass ticket window, unique architectural details and original 1844 work tops.
Come and explore inside the building and its surroundings using our free Discovery Trail booklet, and see if you can find the bullet hole where a passenger was shot in 1868.
