Taken on a cold and wintery morning at Llanrwst on the Conwy Valley the station and signal box are seen in this view looking north. The box is a London and North Western Railway structure dating from 1880 and is still in use today albeit as a token exchange point. The derelict station building seen here are grade II listed, as is the box, with the station now open as a request stop that is infrequently patronised. This is because in 1989, BR opened a far more conveniently located single platform station slightly further south nearer to the town centre. Thus, a small town of some 3300 people, has the luxury of two stations!
