Hi all.
I'm new here as my son who is 3 years old has an obsession with all things trains so I quite often find myself taking an interest in the history of lines so there are a few areas I am after some pictures of just out of interest.
Firstly as I spent most of my 20s in Newton abbot at the Rafters/enigma night club and more recently at bear feet play centre I was surprised to see in a Devon life magazine that the whole yard there used to be a railway yard. I've since been unable to find the picture nor been able to find anymore online but would love to see a few snaps of the yard in its day before the lines were lifted.
I now live in Ivybridge and have read about the line from Totnes to Ivybridge which used to include stations or halts at Wrangaton including a sidings to the business park which still stands and used to be some kind of weapons manufacturer yard, also a half that was at bittaford just before the viaduct and lastly a sidings just before Ivy station where the building with tall stone chimney is.
Any pictures or even info would be great.
Thanks
