Pembroke Railway Station

HistoryPembroke railway station was opened by the Pembroke and Tenby Railway as the initial terminus of a line that ran to on 30 July 1863. The station originally consisted of small wooden buildings, with a short 150-foot platform. In 1864, an extension to the line reached the town of Pembroke Dock, making the station there the western terminus in place of Pembroke. A more permanent station building was constructed later, built from dressed limestone with a slate roof and three ornamental chimneys.
