The former Nailsworth Station building is now a private house, Grade II listed in 1975. The building dates from the 1860s, at a terminus of the Stonehouse & Nailsworth Railway which opened in 1867. The ambitious intention was to continue the line to Southampton via the Cotswolds. This never happened. Indeed the Stonehouse & Nailsworth Railway was soon in financial difficulties, and was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1878. Most of the line's revenue was from freight. After passenger services on the line ended in 1949, freight trains continued to run until the branch line closed in 1966.
