Padstow railway station

Padstow railway station was the western terminus of the North Cornwall Railway. It was opened in 1899 by the London and South Western Railway to serve the port of Padstow. It closed in 1967 having been proposed for closure in the Beeching Report.
Although the LSWR obtained parliamentary authorisation to construct a line from Halwill & Beaworthy to Padstow in 1882 and opened the line as far as Wadebridge in 1894, it was to be a further five years before the line reached Padstow. The delay came about because of discussions within the LSWR in 1894 as to whether the line should in fact terminate at Truro rather than Padstow. Around the same time, the time period specified by Parliament within which the North Cornwall Line was to be constructed lapsed and it became necessary to apply for fresh authorisation. Under pressure from by local residents, the LSWR obtained new approval in the form of the North Cornwall Railway Act 1896 which authorised the extension west over the main road in Wadebridge where a level crossing was to be installed. The line finally arrived in Padstow on 23 March 1899 and the station opened to traffic four days later. The line's opening was celebrated by crowds of local residents who gathered at the station to greet the first train. A brass band was also on hand and played "See The Conquering Hero Comes".
