Braunton June 1972 - a photo on Flickriver

Braunton June 1972

            All the infrastructure is still intact at Braunton over 2.5 years after closure, the box is unvandalised and the lattice post signal and crossing gates in place. After being singled in 1967 using the former Down line north of the level crossing and closed in October 1970, there was an, eventually, abortive attempt to re-open the line, but by 1975 it was clear that the game was over.  This LSW stone-to-floor box had opened on 1st July 1889, when the Braunton to Mortehoe section was doubled. Its Stevens 25 lever tappet frame and gate wheel remained in use until closure on 5th October 1970.
