Derry Ormond Station (previously Betws Bledrws)

This is the original station building at the single platform Derry Ormond Station (renamed following the opening of the line from the original Betws Bledrws). The station closed to passengers in 1965 although the platform was used until 1970 for milk traffic. This rare station building survivor is in a perilous state but it is still possible to make out the original colour scheme and some of the fittings in the booking office and waiting room are still in place.
