A Polite Notice.
The West Somerset Gala has produced a whole crop of excellent pictures for which many thanks, however we cannot put them all in the news section or they will swamp out other news and information. We are putting some samples in the news section but the remainder will have come under features (Jan to June 2016) - please look there. Thank you for your timely contributions.

Interesting Labels Julian Stephens
Julian was recently looking through an old book and between the pages found several paper labels such as destinations like Buckfastleigh, Lydford and Plymouth (North Road). These images have been 'stuck' in the relevant places on this website, however four remain which deserve showing and here they are :-
Many thanks Julian.

Where was it & Where is it?
This photograph, one of the very large Roger Winnen collection is rare in that apart from being taken on a CRS minibus tour in Devon in the Kingsbridge area he doesn't know where it is. The date is the 3rd May 1981. Ham Mill Halt was actually on the Golden Valley line between Kemble and Stroud, it opened in 1903 and closed in 1964. But where did he see this sign and where is it now?
