Pencader
(1864 - 1965)
Pencader Station opened on March 28 1864 when the Carmarthen & Cardigan Railway was extended from its temporary terminus at Conwil. The station was built into the side of a valley,
which required a retaining wall and some timber buttressing on the down side
The station had a passing loop and two facing platforms. The main building included a booking office, general waiting room and a ladies’ waiting room. The gents' toilet was at the north end of the main station building. There was a large timber waiting room on the down platform
There was a large goods yard to the south of the station comprising three south-facing sidings and two facing north. One of these sidings served a cattle dock and pens while another passed through a large stone goods shed
Pencader station closed to passengers on February 22 1965, but the station remained open to handle parcels until September 6 1965
The south end of the station and the goods yard are now a lorry park. To the north, industrial units occupy the station site. The stationmaster's house is in private occupation
