Old Colwyn formerly Colwyn
(1884 - 1952)
Old Colwyn Station which opened on April 9 1884 was initially named Colwyn but strangers would often alight there by mistake thinking it was Colwyn Bay.
To avoid confusion the station was renamed Old Colwyn on June 1 1885
For a short time Colwyn Bay was known as New Colwyn, there was much protest so the name was changed back to Colwyn Bay
The station had two staggered platforms with basic waiting facilities at platform level. There was a siding and coal yard
The station was only just over a mile from Colwyn Bay’s main station and was probably not very busy outside of the holiday season. As a consequence it closed to passengers on December 1 1952. Goods traffic lasted until May 4 1964
Today, the only evidence that the station ever existed are some degraded remains of the westbound platform
