To make way for the new road,the site of Tiverton Station was completely levelled and I believe this is when the platforms were destroyed.The building of the new road also meant that the iconic road bridge linking Canal Hill with Station Road was also destroyed.For me it is always very sad thinking of this old Victorian bridge being smashed up,as I have seen it in so many pictures and is so familiar to me.

Tiverton Museum's pictures showing the old bridge and the levelling of the Tiverton station site.

The first picture shows Tiverton Staion in 1967 with the old bridge in the background.I couldn't resist showing John's lovely picture of the bridge again and the last picture shows the new road layout today.

News From Down the Line

newslogo44Every now and then when I talk to people and they hear of my interest in the Exe Valley Railway,they tell me little bits of information or recall an old memory.It always amazes me how even today,more than 50 years after it's closure,the fondness with which people remember the railway and how fresh the memories seem to be to them.

This little section of the website is to pass on to you these little "titbits" and any other small pieces of information that I have come across.

24/4/19These interesting pictures of Dulverton Station were sent in by Fred Gillard, who visited in about 1970 to take some pictures for a model railway project that he was building. The station buildings were bought by the Carnarvon Arms (now closed down) and used as staff and overflow guest accommodation,before being converted into residential housing. Thank you very much Fred for taking the time to share your pictures.
