The railhead

Estelle with her mother Joyce Quick walking on the rail tracks at the harbour.They lived in Brede and often visited the coast at weekends. There are very few photos of the railhead that was used to take stones, including the blue boulders, away from the village.

Comments

As a child I remember the old open railway carriages that were left on the track after its closure. My older brothers Ted and Karl Seymour, often used to lift me up into them, run down the bank and go back to the Coastguards where we lived, leaving a frightened little girl, who was supposed to be in their charge!! Later, when I was about nine or ten, I remember the sleepers being lifted and put in a pile at the Point. We made camps in there until they were disposed of. Does anyone else remember this time (early to mid sixties)? Also "Shirties" Bench?
