Cockermouth Station (1865 - 1966)


The railway station in Cockermouth was opened to passengers on the 2nd of January 1865. It was opened jointly by the Cockermouth, Keswick & Penrith Railway and the Cockermouth & Workington Railway. For passengers, this replaced the earlier C&W station of 1847, by Low Road, which was further from the town centre. The station was closed on the 18th of April, 1966. The station was later demolished and the site, near the south end of Station Road, was used for Cockermouth Mountain Rescue and the Cumbria Fire Service Headquarters.
