The old station building build in brick architecture is from victorian time.

The station was opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 1 October 1888. It passed onto the Southern Railway in 1923 and to British Railways in 1948. The signal box was built into the station building and remained in use until the line was resignalled in January 1990 when the station was destaffed.

So the Wall Box must be from the time of this opening 1888.
