It is difficult to believe that there was once a goods yard to the left of this picture on the approach to the former Sidmouth Junction station. The Sidmouth branch converged with the main line passing under a bridge to the left of the one from which this picture was taken. This station closed along with the Sidmouth branch on the 6th March 1967 only to be re-opened as Feniton on the 3rd May 1971 .
