Anchovy railway station opened in c1894 and closed in 1992.[1] It served the small town of Anchovy, Jamaica on the Kingston to Montego Bay line and was 105.75miles from the Kingston terminus.[2]
It was built around 1894 of timber in the Jamaican Georgian architectural style.[3] It has two floors.[3] The ground floor has timber doors and sash windows.[3] The upper floor is partially cantilevered and is supported by a series of timber posts on the ground floor to form a canopy over the platform and front elevation.[3] The upper floor has a mixture of sash and louvred windows as well as recessed panel timber doors.[3] The roof of the structure is a T-shaped gable end zinc roof with a semi-circular fanlight on either side of a double gable end section of the roof.[3]
In 2003 it was reported as being in "very poor condition" and "in need of major repairs".[4]
It is on the list of designated National Heritage Sites in Jamaica.
In 1910 the third class fare from Anchovy to Kingston was 8/- (eight shillings); first class was about double.[5]
