The site of Wadebridge railway station
Image: © Ron Strutt Taken: 12 Sep 2003
This is the site of Wadebridge railway station, first opened in 1834. The canopied station building (middle distance), which dates from 1899 when the connecting line from Exeter (and ultimately London Waterloo) opened, remains and is now used as the John Betjeman Centre. The old goods shed also survives as an arts centre. The road runs over the site of a second platform and the houses on the right cover the site of the old engine shed.
