A Glimpse into the Unrealized Past: Cornwall Mineral Railway - Fowey Station Alternative Design This photograph print showcases an alternative design for Fowey Station building of the Cornwall Mineral Railway, a fascinating glimpse into the unrealized past of this historic railway line. The exact date of this drawing remains unknown, adding an intriguing layer of mystery to its allure. The design, identified as 76860-01, presents a striking contrast to the eventual built station. The architectural rendering reveals a more ornate and elaborate structure, with a grandiose facade adorned with intricate detailing and a prominent central tower. The roofline is adorned with decorative elements, and the windows are larger and more elaborate than those found in the final design. The alternative design for Fowey Station reflects the Victorian era's architectural sensibilities, which valued grandeur and opulence. The use of red brick and stone in the design adds to its visual appeal and complements the natural beauty of the surrounding Cornish landscape. Despite the allure of this alternative design, it ultimately did not come to fruition. The reasons for this change remain unknown, but it is possible that cost considerations, practicality, or a shift in architectural trends played a role in the decision to build a more modest station. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the rich history and intriguing what-ifs of the Cornwall Mineral Railway. It invites us to ponder the "what could have been" and to appreciate the unique character of the railway's built heritage. The alternative design for Fowey Station is a testament to the creativity and vision of the railway's designers and builders, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
