  1. Having just now late in your day having come across your project, more strength to your arm.  Coincidentally, last week I finished scanning my photos of the Clevedon Branch which was my first note of railways, having lived my first six years with Clevedon Station across the playing fields at the end of Kingsley Road. 

     

    Visiting the closed line on half term holidays from boarding school, I walked the line and took some photos of remaining features.

     

    Picking up on a few points mentioned, please find by way of attachment

     

    - a photo of Kingston Bridge looking down {towards Clevedon} the line, the other side of your backscene

     

    - photos of the buffer stop at Clevedon platform as dragged up the line after the run-round loop and sidings were taken out

     

    - a photo of the transition from concrete to wooden sleepers

     

    - a photo of the transition from bullhead to flatbottomed rail

     

    -  photo of Rust Bridge

     

    The Western Region Chief Civil Engineer's drawings of the bridges and doubtless other works were sent to the NRM, York

     

    Cheers,
