| Description |
English: A snowy station yard, South Brent South Brent was once a busy junction station on the South Devon Railway mainline to Plymouth. It was closed in 1963 but SX6960 : Brent Station, with train provides a snapshot of it in 1958. Some of the infrastructure remains, the signal box is on what remains of the island platform, and the goods shed is now a busy dental surgery, see SX6960 : Primrose Junction Dental Surgery, South Brent. The rest of the yard is used for parking and has a small factory in one part. Snow is not new here; in March 1891 a drama occurred when the GWR's premier daily express from Paddington to Plymouth, nicknamed "The Zulu", was stranded here for 4 days in what was called The Great Blizzard. Greg Wall's Book of South Brent published by Halsgrove in 2005, has an interesting account from newspaper reports of the time. See SX6960 : South Brent station, rather where it used to be ! for the same scene. |
