Cambrian Terrace and Borth Station Borth Station was built by the Aberystwyth & Welsh Coast Railway, and for a short time served as the terminus of the line, before the line was extended to Aberystwyth. The terrace on the right was built around the same time, by the entrepreneur Thomas Savin, who was also involved in building the railway. His intention was to take advantage of the railway to develop Borth as a resort. The buildings on the left are modern. Seen on a rainy day.
