"The Falmouth club has been hard at work on an accurate model of its local station, complete with its fine Brunel-type timber roof. Just as the model reached completion the Western Region decided to modernize the station and replaced this magnificent structure with the more utilitarian concrete awnings favoured today, and sadly the club set about replacing the glorious structure seen in the photograph to bring its model up to date."
Station buildings and train shed, the prototype
being removed around 1956 and replaced with
more modern (for the time) steel canopies.
The bridge over Bar Road.
A Western National double decker passes the
Palm Court Hotel on route to the station. The route
number was probably 167 Langdon Road - The Docks.
