Wells Priory Road

This could be classified as GWR Cheddar Valley Line or Somerset and Dorset. Wells Priory Road was the S&D station in Wells but on the GWR line (GWR trains didn't stop, apparently).



This was taken in 1963 - the GWR line to Tucker Street and Yatton curves right; the S&D line to Glastonbury turned left. Lovely selection of signals!



[Railscot note: Interestingly the railway clearing house map of 1914 shows a very short section of the S&D between the two sections of GWR in Wells.]
