Branch lines



St Kew Highway
(1895 - 1965)


St Kew Highway station was about two miles as the crow flies from St Kew village, though after the railway arrived quite a number of properties were built around a public house that was near to the station in the village of St Kew Highway. The station was the last station before Wadebridge on the line from Halwill

The layout at St Kew Highway was very similar to other station buildings on the line and goods traffic handled included incoming coal and fertilizer and outgoing sugar beet, corn, pigs and rabbits

The inroads made by road transport took a big toll on St Kew Highway which, like Port Isaac Road, lost its stationmaster in 1927 and came under the supervision of Camelford. The goods yard closed in 1964 and, the station was taken out of use on November 21 1965
