Return to the Somerset and Dorset Railway

I never travelled on the S&D, it closed just after my fourth birthday. But I have driven along the line visiting the stations and tunnels and some of the notable viaducts several times, not always taking photos sadly. These pictures are from two trips, in 2019 and 2021 plus a few from much earlier trips and we go from the south to the north.

    Moving onto Henstridge and after the passage of the final demolition train the gates were closed and locked and possibly never opened since. This is the gate on the north side of a minor road.
    The other gate is in a much more sorry state and has been removed from the post and dumped on the side of the formation.
    All four gate posts still stand with now just one of the hand operated gates still doing its job 53 years (at the time of the picture) after closure.
