Stalbridge celebrations Ian Gall Ian Gall sends us a copy of the advertising for a weeks celebration of the S & D in the area. Looks like a very interesting week - make a note in your diary. Many thanks Ian Stalbridge Station Mike Morant & Sid Sponheimer ![]() An interesting view of the station buildings which are on the up side of the station, next stop Henstridge then Templecombe. The furthest building is the stationmasters house , closer were the station offices and nearest the 18 level signalbox which controlled to operation of the passing loop. The yard lay behind these buildings. This picture taken in 1963 from the Mike Morant collection. ![]() One of Stalbridge which has been on the website a long time as 75072 runs into the up platform, the signalman stands ready to take the token from Sturminster Newton. There was a road level crossing at the south end of the station which crossed both sets of metals of the passing loop. There were three sidings behind the station building serving a loading dock and goods shed - this siding also extended across the road served by the crossing seen in this picture.
