Clarbeston Road station An Arriva train bound for Milford Haven has just pulled in and two passengers wait for the doors to open. Victorian OS maps show the station to be east of the road bridge [from where this shot was taken], but now it is on the west side. I stopped in the hope that the station would be an old GWR style building, but was obviously disappointed. I would guess that before the GWR built the line through here, the village of Clarbeston Road would not have existed, though a map of the 1880's shows a few dwellings and two pubs.

The Cross Inn, Clarbeston Road The pub is so called because it was on a crossroads - the Maenclochog to Haverfordwest road and the Woodstock to Wiston road. The layout was changed when the railway was built. The inn was mentioned as early as 1770.

Clarbeston Road The village is named after the railway station. Given that it's in the parish of Wiston, and it's on the road to Wiston, it's odd that it wasn't called Wiston Road.

Clarbeston Road railway station, Pembrokeshire Opened in 1854 by the South Wales Railway on its line from Carmarthen to Neyland, the station was originally on the east (far) side of the road bridge - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6819716">SN0120 : Clarbeston Road 1st railway station (site), Pembrokeshire</a>. 
Line extensions to Fishguard and Milford Haven were later added and the station is believed to have been moved to this site in 1914 by the Great Western Railway. This allowed for a bay platform to be included on the north side of the line (extreme left of image), now removed.
