Opened in 1876 as "Victoria" by the Cornwall Minerals Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, on the line from Par to Newquay. The station received its current name in 1904. View east towards Bugle and Par. The passing loop and former platform to the left became disused from 1965 and the track removed. When this image was taken, the former eastbound platform could still be seen disappearing under the undergrowth.
