Weymouth Station and the Quay Tramway
18th March 2006
<-- Index | Showing 1-19 of 19 pictures | Index -->
Some photos taken of Weymouth Station (and one of Wool Station) complete with semaphore signals and the famous quay tramway. The photos of the disused line show part of the Easton Branch from Weymouth (Melcombe Regis). We've estimated these photos were taken in the period 1976-78. Some discolouration due to the aging of the negatives.

I think this is the former Littlefield Crossing adjacent to Westham Halt - the platform of the latter which can seen in the background. This was one of the intermediate stations on the Weymouth (Melcombe Regis) - Easton branch.
