Moorswater
(1879 - 1901)


The Liskeard and Caradon Railway was opened on November 28 1844 from quarries on the moors north of Liskeard to Moorswater where goods were transferred to the Liskeard and Looe Union Canal. At Looe they could then be transhipped to sea-going vessels for transport further around the coast

The canal was superseded by a railway on December 27 1860 and passengers were carried on the Moorswater to Looe section from September 11 1879

On May 15 1901 passenger trains from Looe were diverted over a new loop line to Liskeard railway station and Moorswater station closed to passengers
