Description
Wadebridge Station is a disused railway station built around the mid-19th century. It features rusticated snecked slatestone with granite dressings and has a slate roof with hipped ends, along with three rusticated slate and granite axial stacks. The building has an overall rectangular plan, with the platform originally located on the northeast side and the main entrance on the southwest side.
The station is a single-storey structure with an asymmetrical six-window front on the southwest elevation and an entrance to the left of center. The right and left sides of the building are slightly set forward and have hipped ends. There is a pair of narrow sash windows to the left, and the remains of 19th-century 24-pane sashes in the center and to the right. The northeast elevation, which originally faced the platform, has double doors near the center and to the left, along with the remains of 19th-century 24-pane sashes. The platform canopy is supported by cast iron columns with wrought iron spandrels and features a shallow pitched roof with gable ends and timber boarding.
The Wadebridge to Bodmin railway, which opened in 1834, was the first steam railway in Cornwall and significantly improved the transport of sea sand from Padstow to Wadebridge for agricultural use.
