an afternoon in dorset 1975





This was Maiden Newton, on the Dorchester to Castle Cary line, on 25 February 1975. It would still be, for another few months, a junction for the delightful Bridport branch. There was still plenty of railway infrastructure around, including the big cast concrete sign. I made a few trips here in the 70s, mainly to visit the Bridport line.

  2. Went there for many years down the Bridport line. Most trains I went on I was only passenger. Such a shame. Was a lovely line.
