Where is it? Our pictorial quiz, for fun only
LAST month our mystery picture from Peter Doel showed the Grade II listed broad gauge engine shed at Moretonhampstead, Devon, which dates from c.1866.
Moretonhampstead & South Devon Railway built a broad gauge line from Newton Abbot, opening in 1866, with the line converted to standard gauge some 26 years later – by which time the South Devon had amalgamated with the GWR. The last passenger service ran on February 28, 1959, and freight survived until April 1964. The loco shed was designated Grade II listed in 2001 and is now included in a local haulage company’s yard.
