In a historic UK village lies an abandoned red brick train station ‘frozen in time’ that could be transformed very soon.

       Pentre Berw station, located on the small island of Anglesey in north Wales, still has its ticket office, toilets, several waiting rooms with wooden shelves in the old London and North Western Railway colours and old tin signs on the walls.

       Back in its heyday, the station served the 17.5-mile Amlwch Line connecting the port of Amlwch and the county town of Llangefni with the North Wales Coast Line at Gaerwen.

       The line ceased to exist in 1964, but industrial freight services continued until 1993.

       The railway's tracks still stand and local groups have demonstrated an interest in restoring services as a heritage railway.

       But there are now proposals for the former railway station building to be converted into two self-contained holiday lets.

       Anglesey County Council has received a full application for the change of use of the old station at Pentre Berw, potentially giving it a new lease of life.

       The 940-square-metre development site is north east of Gaerwen, and about two miles from Llangefni.

       The proposals call for the former railway station building to be converted into two self-contained holiday lets, together with the erection of a detached bat roost. The applicant is listed as a Wigan-based Matthew Adams of Addams Family Estate Limited, through agent Gerwyn Jones, of Gaerwen, for Outline Building Solutions Cyf.

       The applicant purchased the building in July 2024 and stated that the holiday lets would make "good use of an otherwise vacant building."

       They noted that bat surveys carried had confirmed that the station building was "used as an occasional day and night roost for a variety of bats". "It is possible to convert the building into the two modest yet comfortable units without any extensions or extensive structural work."

       But it was "acknowledged that it will be necessary to create an additional opening to the northern elevation to create sufficient lighting".

       It noted: "The additional opening has been designed in a way that respect the character of the building."
