The North Cornwall Railway
ST KEW HIGHWAY since closure
| St Kew Highway station is another that is used today as a
private dwelling. "Highway" tells you that this station, too, was
some way from the village it served! This photograph of it was taken in 1985
when it was converted into a guest house, by Ron Strutt. |

the old goods shed, converted into a home. |
| The down side waiting shelter, taken by Ron Strutt in
1985, in use as a garden and wood store, looks to be in better condition than
the Austin Metropolitan 1500 parked outside! |

behind vegetation. |
| This bridge is immediately to the north of the station and once
upon a time carried the railway over the A39 road. With the widening of the
road in recent years the embankment between the bridge and the station was
removed so that the road can follow a faster and more sweeping route than was
the case previously and tall vehicles no longer risk damage from the low height
of the bridge. |
