Rhosgoch railway station

Rhosgoch railway station lies on the former Anglesey Central Railway between Gaerwen and Amlwch. The line once carried passengers and goods across the island, with Rhosgoch serving a small farming community. In 1882 the original wooden building gave way to a brick structure on the west side of the track. A goods yard stood to the north, handling coal, lime and farm produce for local merchants. By the 1970s a private siding linked the railway to the Shell Oil Tank Farm nearby. The station closed to passengers in 1964 under the Beeching cuts, though freight trains continued until 1993. The oil tanks and goods yard have since been removed, leaving only the sidings and the brick building. The trackbed is now a quiet farm track, while the station building remains in private hands. The council owns the former goods yard, which has been cleared of buildings. Visitors find a single-storey brick building beside a grassy track. The platform edge is still visible, and the goods yard area is open ground. Wild flowers grow where wagons once stood, and the Shell siding points east towards the coast. The scene is peaceful, with distant fields and the occasional walker passing by.
