Opened in 1861 by the Oswestry & Newtown Railway, soon to become part of the Cambrian Railway, this station closed in 1965. View south towards Montgomery and Newtown, from a foot crossing. The station house remains, as a private residence, although the two parallel platforms have been removed. The signal box was also extant when this image was taken, all the more surprising as it was taken out of use in 1969 when the line was singled.
