england dunster train churn milk station

117 views

©  EXIF
It's a long time since milk churns were a regular sight by the side of the road or the railway. These must be becoming a rarity now. Another example of how the stations on the West Somerset Line are "dressed" to great nostalgic effect.

The yellow gate was put in especially for King Edward VII so that when he came to play polo at Dunster Castle, he didn't have to mix with the "common people" and walk through the ticket office on his way in and out of the station. Even the car park has an especially large circular end, suitable for turning horse-drawn carriages.
