And nine days after Class 31's picture the empty site has become a rubble mountain. 11th August 2013 .... Strange that the dates for comments on the pictures do not include the year. Will this be a problem for future researchers or as with so much on the internet does the date no seem to matter!! Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Maurice	Tuesday 13th of August 2013 08:24:24 AM
Looking towards Wells 11th August 2013. The level crossing was somewhere about the middle of the roundabout. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Maurice	Tuesday 13th of August 2013 08:16:12 AM

Oh dear! The factory's not pretty but it represents employment, and the west country dairying tradition. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Katy Whitaker	Friday 2nd of August 2013 12:52:40 PM
This location is now a roundabout were Priory Road and Glastonbury Road cross bypass built on the old railway line. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Maurice	Thursday 1st of August 2013 09:53:19 PM
GWR goods train complete with Pannier tank engine and 'Toad' brake van. Interesting how the waiting traffic stands well back from the level crossing gates... this would not happen today as someone would pop into the space. Note the windows in the back of the signal box to allow signalmen a clear view of the road. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Maurice	Thursday 1st of August 2013 09:50:29 PM

Can anyone identify the match represented by the marquees and deckchairs around the cricket pitch?	Katy Whitaker	Saturday 3rd of August 2013 09:15:25 AM
I have found a report of a county cricket match held at Wells on Thursday 25th August 1938 between Somerset and Kent. Somerset won. The photo shows the ground on the following day. The report is in The Advocate of Saturday 27th August 1938.	Class31	Saturday 3rd of August 2013 09:15:25 AM
I just love this photo which shows the traffic on the main road having to stop at the level crossing gates whilst a pannier tank, nine wagons and a toad brake van continues eastwards. The signalman had a big wheel in the signal box which he used to manually swing open the gates to allow trains or road traffic to pass. The gates were interlocked with the railway signals and were normally closed across the railway when no train needed to cross. The advent of Automatic Half Barriers and lifting barriers has almost led to the disappearance of traditional manually controlled level crossing gates. The steam locomotive has disappeared from the main line railway, the pick up goods train is no more and this particular railway line disappeared in the 1960's.
