Castletown Railway Station
Archaeology
The late 19th century railway station at the northern edge of Castletown.
The station building is believed to date from just after the formal opening of the Douglas to Port Erin line in 1874. It is the only original stone station building to survive on the route, and is furthermore distinctive because of the use of the local limestone.
The structure was inscribed in the Protected Buildings Register in 2008 (No. 257), together with the neighbouring goods shed, which dates from 1901, and replaced an earlier timber structure of 1881 which had become too small for the volume of business it was required to handle.
