Tresmeer: old station

The platforms and station house survive at the hamlet of Splatt, as well as one running in board or station sign – all now part of a private residence. Seen from the old railway overbridge. A signalbox used to stand on the far platform. The North Cornwall reached here in 1892; Tresmeer was a temporary terminus until the line was extended to Camelford in October 1893, and was a centre for trade in cattle, rabbits and slate. Closure came in October 1966
