Praze railway station

One of two sets of abutments that carried the railway near Praze

Praze railway station was built to the south of the village of Praze-An-Beeble, Cornwall, England, at an elevation of 360 feet (110 m). It was an intermediate station on the single-track Helston Railway between Gwinear Road and Nancegollan, and was opened on 9 May 1887 when the line opened.[1] The line closed on 5 October 1964 and since closure a house has been built on the site of the station and the girders and bridge deck that took the railway over the road have been removed, leaving just the brick abutments.[2] The only other sign of a station near the village is the road name "Station Hill".[3]
