Ilfracombe
Chris Bellett

Chris sends us this picture of the terminus at Ilfracombe perched high above the town and harbour. Ilfracombe closed on 5th October 1970.  The bare expanse of the former sidings can be seen to the left - goods traffic was withdrawn on the  7th September 1974.

​Friends,
Going through some of my memory sticks etc., I came across this interesting snippet.
Can anyone shed any further 'light' on this working to and from Rhymney, please? Please pass this information on if you might know someone who could help - thank you.
Kind regards and Easter greetings,        Ken (Mumford)
