Barnstaple Town Station
The abandoned Interchange Station for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway on the Barnstaple Junction to Ilfracombe line.
Originally operated by the London and South Western Railway - it passed to the Southern Railway at the grouping and later British Railways Southern Region and in its final years BR Western Region.
The Lynton and Branstaple Railway closed in 1935. Barnstaple Town closed on October 05, 1970. There was an attempt to reopen the line by the North Devon Railway Company - however, this failed in 1974 and the track was removed.
I visited the station on April 08, 1982 when these photographs were taken.
Today the station building has been refurbished and operates as a restaurant retaining many of its original features.
