History

The station was opened on 1 June 1909 by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway. It initially had one siding which served Messrs Hill, West lake and Company's Brick and Tile Works. Mr E S Tubb, the station master of Calstock, was temporarily responsible for the station in June 1948. It was known as Chilsworthy Halt in the 1938 and 1956 editions of the handbook of stations as well as British Rail tickets. A second siding was added in 1956, which was operated by the Ministry of Defence. The station closed on 7 November 1966.[1][2]
