1908, Graham. We had a lovely time celebrating the centenary in 2008.
Ah - I will correct that later today. Currently on an "iffy" connection on the move in an area with known blank coverage sections ... danger of cutting then not being able to paste!
Home (briefly!) and corrected .. thanks for the alert.

Callington Station was opened on 2nd March 1908 - at the end of a light railway branch from Bere Alston via Calstock, Gunnislake and Latchley. It went through a series of names - Kelly Bray, Callington Road (is there a clue there that it was out of town?) and Callington for Stoke Climsland. It closed on 7th November 1966, though the branch from Bere Alston to Gunnislake remains open to the day - the only passenger line constructed under a light railway order to remain on the main network.
Was the name changed to avoid confusion?
