Former Railway Station ~ West Bay

Former Railway Station ~ West Bay
DSC 1783


The railway line between West Bay and Bridport closed to passengers in 1930, and operated for goods services only until its final closure in 1962. It now operates as The Station Kitchen in the carriages and a cafe in the Station building.

HFF everyone!
