Nancegollan (Cornwall) Station - Sep 1955 - hand coloured version

My hand *coloured (if you want to use it please credit me and link to this description) version, of a small old amateur photograph taken in Sep 1955 from a train at Nancegollan railway station, showing the waiting area and signal box, the main building is on the other side of the train, the station closed to passengers in Nov 1962.

The original BnW photo is here:-
flic.kr/p/2pvjzhL

The photo is annotated with "Nancegollan looking up 23/9/55". There is no photographer name.

Nancegollan station opened in May 1887 when the Helston Railway opened a line between Helston and Gwinear Road on the Great Western Railway (GWR) mainline to Penzance, the line was operated by the GWR and absorbed by them in Aug 1898. In Nov 1962 the branch was closed for passengers, it was closed to goods in Oct 1964, the track had been lifted by mid-1965.

* My hand (not machine AI) coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
