Tiverton?

Sorry, not Tiverton.

I would have expected a call if it was anywhere around there.

I thought that it looked a bit like the old line heading past Cowleymoor and on towards Bolham. Nor walked it for a few years ago though.

We are indeed, Tony.

Between the former Wells (Tucker St) and Wookey stations. Looking toward the site of Wookey Station which is about a ΒΌ mile away.

To my left is a large new build housing estate off the A371 road to Cheddar. My daughter and her partner live here.

In the interests of continuity and ease of future reference, I have moved and merged several topics here.

These posts all relate specifically to the 'Strawberry Line': as ever, nothing has been deleted and the original topic headings have been retained where possible.

I do hope my consolidation of various historic information into this one definitive topic helps our readers.

Also, I should declare something of a personal interest here: the Strawberry Line is local to me, it is a great cycleway, and their cafe at Yatton station is excellent: if you find yourself in North Somerset with some time to spare, please do give it a go!

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
