ROMSEY STATION HOUSE FUNDRAISING

UPDATE December 2025

Avon Construction have collaborated with Hampshire Community Rail and ep architects to produce a book entitled Regenerating Railway Stations which has successfully been launched this week, to raise awareness and to support groups throughout the country to restore iconic railway stations to being at the heart of the communities.

We hope that by sharing our experiences and the examples in the book, it will help Community Rail Partnerships and station supporter groups in their efforts to regenerate more railway stations.

At the National Rail Heritage Awards ceremony in London this week, copies of the book were handed to Lord Peter Hendy, the minister of state for rail and Tim Dunn, rail historian. They were delighted with the book and what the group are doing.

Celebrating Romsey’s Railway heritage, the design for the historic Station Master’s House carefully adapts this Victorian landmark for modern use while preserving it’s unique architectural character. The addition of a glass elevator improves accessibility for all visitors and ensures the building can be enjoyed by everyone.

Hampshire Community Rail are committed to delivering a community facility that the whole town can take pride in. This project honours Romsey’s past while meeting the needs of the future, ensuring the landmark remains both protected and purposeful for generations to come.

Alongside the restoration, the aim is to create a welcoming space that fosters connection between residents, visitors and the wider railway community. By blending heritage with contemporary function the hope is that the Station Master’s House will once again become a vibrant focal point for Romsey life.
