St Ouen JNWR - St Helier Weighbridge Station
Hi
St Helier Weighbridge was the terminus of Jersey Western and Jersey North Western trains in the town. St Helier Snow hill was the terminus of the Jersey Eastern trains and the site is the other side of central area.
This below is a photograph of how the front of the station is today. There have been no substantial structural changes, just the addition of branding, the building is now the entrance to the Liberation Walk outlet shopping centre.
This stone build building was completed about two years after the station was opened; there was a wood building on the side, in an area now occupied by the pavement of the Esplanade. This was on the sea shore, before the harbour extension including the Queen Elizabeth Ferry Terminal was build.
The entrance area is still very much as it was when it was a railway station, If you look up you can see the remaining portion of the overall roof. The remainder of which was removed in the early 1920’s and replaced with platform canopies.
Round the corner the station buildings have been replaced with a modern apartment block, but on the ground floor is the Liberation Bus Station, the main transport hub for the island.
