Opened in 1843 by The Hayle Railway, later part of the West Cornwall Railway, as the terminus of its line from Hayle, this station closed to passengers in 1852 when services were transferred to the current Redruth station. The site continued as a good station into the 20th Century. View southwest from somewhere near the buffers. The station site was the buildings to the left of the red lorry - the wall is a later construction.
