Demolition of the former Dainton
Signalbox at Westbury
Guy Vincent 
The former Dainton Signal Box that was featured on the CRS site in February 2017 (see Features) in use as a headquarters for the West Wilts Youth Sailing Trust has recently (week ending 14.12.2018) been demolished and removed as scrap from it's waterside location close to the entrance to Westbury station.  The area is currently being redeveloped and as part of the deal the Sailing Trust are getting a new building provided for their use on the opposite side of the lake.  Sadly no advance notice was given of the demolition so pictures were not possible.  

Regards  Guy Vincent      
Many thanks to Guy for getting these pictures .

I have some very old glass plate photograph negatives which I have collected over the years and have found this little gem.
Attached is a picture of the GWR 6011 King James I at Kingswear station (date unknown) this locomotive was in service from 1928-1962 I believe.
Happy for you to use this image on your web site if you wish, please copyright to myself "Steve Spingys"

Many thanks for sharing this with us Steve and welcome to the website.
