The mineral loading station, known as the “Cable Inglés”, is located on the Playa de las Almadrabillas, next to the east pier and at the end of a railway branch. It was initially owned by the English mining company “The Alquife Mines Railway Limited” (hence its name), which acquired the concession in 1901 and began construction immediately in 1902.
It is a good example and a masterpiece of iron architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. Its construction was made possible by the construction of the port and the railway. The style is eclectic, but introduces a new architectural expression characterized by the use of new materials such as iron. It is surrounded by the beach and a bridge connecting it to the station.
It consists of two parts: the access that connects the station to the loading station and the loading point itself, through which the trains could unload directly into the holds of the ships. Its access begins at the end of the track, and the central part rests on large round arches on pillars of carved stone, separated by metal parts on the base of large iron beams. In 1998 it was declared a Cultural Asset due to its historical, symbolic and visual importance.
