RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 11, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2015 Darren, the bit described as 'Alphington Road Goods' is now a B&Q car park. The scrap loading area is further down the actual running line that used to go on towards Ide and Heathfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Holladay Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I appreciate all these postings are from 2013 - it is now 2019 and I have just joined the site. On the subject of this very much truncated part of the Exeter Rail Network I would appreciate any help acquiring images taken at Ground Level of the area back in the 1940s 1950s 1960s or even 1970s that may include part or whole images of the premises of Garton & King Ltd, - onetime in our family ownership and whose archive website I maintain here - www.exeterfoundry.org.uk - on this site there are aerial views of the Foundry taken in 1945 and the rail network in that area, however images of the foundry (which was opposite the sidings serving at that time Kings Asphalt) are almost impossible to source - the Branch Line Society visited the area many years back but none of the images include the foundry, ironically one was of the crossing at the end of Tan Lane and was taken with the photographer situated with his back to the Foundry Gates!. I have attampted to attach one of these aerial views to this post - the foundry is able to be clearly identified. The SECOND image I have permission to use. Thanks for any help / images / suggestions -a visit to the G & K Archive website will show more rail related images.
