One of the ideas was to redevelop the existing station, perhaps to build into the roof , plans were started however abruptly stopped when the "man from the council" stated although the building is not listed, it lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty (this was before the coastline got awarded its World Heritage status). Whilst building work could be considered, we couldn't do any thing with the arch as it has historic importance, this basically stopped any progress with that idea as its the arch that causes us access problems to the building, and when coupled with access problems to Peveril Point (will cover that in the future) the Agency stated to look again elsewhere.The arch is something and its a shame its now tucked away out of public view, there are a few examples left around the country as most stations built in the 1800's followed a standard design, however they are becoming rare.Sunday 13 January 2008
