Chacewater
(1853 - 1964)


Chacewater station was opened on November 1 1853 on the West Cornwall Railway from Truro to Penzance

On July 6 1903 a branch line to Perranporth was opened from nearby Blackwater and it was extended to Newquay on January 2 1905

A loop platform line was added behind the platform used by trains towards Truro in 1912, from which time many branch trains terminated and started there

Blackwater Junction was closed on November 9 1924 which resulted in the physical junction being moved half a mile to Chacewater station, although most trains ran through to Truro

Chacewater station was closed in October 1964
