Black Rock railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Rock Halt was the last unstaffed halt on the Cambrian Coast Line before Pwllheli until British Rail reduced Penychain and Abererch to unstaffed status, and served the popular beach at Black Rock Sands. The halt was opened on the 9th September 1923 by the Great Western Railway who saw themselves as the 'holiday line' and consisted of a 100ft long wooden platform.

The station closed on safety grounds in August 1976, but was not removed from the working timetable until the following year when official closure took place. No trace of the wooden platform now remains.
