Staverton Station
This week's Saturday Timewatch features the delightful Staverton Station on the South Devon Railway. Contact David Hayes recently posted a photo and commented how this particular heritage railway made extra efforts to look and feel as much as possible as it would have done in the heyday of Great Western.
The tiny level crossing signal box is the original. The railway's website comments that when the line was preserved in the late 1960s, a local Vicar had purchased it and had the box in his garden as a green house. A suitable replacement was supplied and the 'box returned to its original task!
