Full description
Menheniot Station was opened on 4th May 1859 as part of the Cornwall Railway, and was a small wayside station with two platforms. A later signal box closed in 1973 and has been demolished. There was a small goods yard and sidings into the adjacent Clicker Tor Quarry – goods facilities closed in 1963 but the quarry siding lasted another ten years until removal in 1973. Only the up side station building survives, and it is amongst the very few remaining CR buildings from the opening of the line, built in Brunel’s Italianate style.
