Fowey
(1876 - 1934)
Fowey railway station was a station in Fowey, Cornwall on the Fowey to Newquay line. It was opened on June 20 1876 when a passenger service was introduced on the line, which had been opened by the
Cornwall Minerals Railway on June 1 1874
The station had two platforms with loading docks and a goods shed. It was situated at Caffa Mill Pill on the north side of the town by the River Fowey. Goods trains passed through the station to the dock jetties where ships could be loaded directly from the wagons
The advertised passenger service to Newquay was withdrawn on July 8 1929, although unadvertised workmen's trains continued to run until December 29 1934
On July 1 1968, the railway was converted into a private road to bring china clay from Par harbour and the station was demolished and the site is now a car park, although some of the original buildings remain. Trains of china clay still operate from Lostwithiel to a jetty at Carne Point, a little further up the river
Although Fowey station no longer exists, freight trains still reach the nearby docks on the line from Lostwithiel and reopening of the line to passenger services was suggested in 2014
