Callington

The East Cornwall Mineral Railway was a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge railway line, opened in 1872 to connect mines and quarries in the Callington and Gunnislake areas in east Cornwall, England, with shipping at Calstock on the River Tamar. The line included a rope-worked incline to descend to the quay at Calstock. Following the opening of a main line railway at nearby Bere Alston, a connecting line from there to Calstock was opened, and the existing line converted to standard gauge, opening throughout as a passenger line in 1908. When rural lines in the area were closed in the 1960s, a short section of the original ECMR line was retained to keep open a connection from Plymouth to Gunnislake, and that section remains open at the present day.

Callington Community College is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, in Callington Cornwall. The school was established between 1911 and 1914 on Launceston Road as a council building, with parts of that building still in use. As a result of the Education Act 1944 this school became Callington Secondary Modern School. In 1971 the school merged with Callington Grammar School and Delaware Secondary Modern School to form Callington Comprehensive School on the Launceston Road site. By the 2000s the school had become Callington Community College, gaining Sports College status and Training School status in 2000, and Music College status in 2004. The school converted to academy status in April 2011. Callington Community College offers GCSEs and vocational courses as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further vocational courses.

Callington railway station (Cornish: Kelliwik) was a railway station in the village of Kelly Bray, one mile (1.6 km) north of the centre of the small town of Callington, Cornwall. It was the terminus of a branch line from Bere Alston, built by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway, but operated by the London and South Western Railway. The station closed in 1966. The Tamar Valley Line still operates services from Bere Alston, with services terminating at Gunnislake railway station, 5 miles (8 km) to the east of Callington. The now-closed section of line north of Gunnislake was remote from local communities and provided a relatively slow journey compared with the competing roads, which limited its use. (Callington had good bus services to Saltash and Plymouth, but the landscape denied that to Gunnislake.) Ironically, the alignment and gradients of that part of the line were better than the surviving section south of Gunnislake. After closure the station was demolished and the site is now occupied by industrial units.
