On the branch between Tavistock and Launceston and opened on 1 July 1865. Reduced to an unstaffed halt in 1959. This and other views of the site appear in G H Anthony's 'The Launceston Branch', revised by S C Jenkins, The Oakwood Press, 1997

at a guess the loco is of GWR origin fom the safety valve cover and what appears to be a copper rim around the top of the chimney.
