I was pleased to see your pictures of Dunmere Halt on your Google site 2 of them show 3 people with old concrete sign of Dunmere Halt. I have a Dunmere Halt sign wood with metal letters as shown on enclosed photo. I would be interested to know if my sign was put up after the concrete one or put over the top.
Hope you can help. Many thanks.
Regards, Ron Grace
Many thanks Ron. Any comments - can anybody help please.
The sign below for Delabole is also of interest.

One is taken at the Exmoor Steam railway in 1992,which I captioned 'shades of the L&B RLY' and one from last years autumn gala at the L&B.
I think their is a striking comparison between them,with the Exmoor hills as a back drop and of course in 1992 the current L&B was in the future.
Enjoy - JonC Of course we will and many thanks
