S&DJR Remembered (11) - 30 March 2013

My pursuit of railway history continued today in Sturminster Newton in Dorset where the actual infrastructure of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR) has all but disappeared but the route and station are marked. Standing next to the Railway Gardens and The Exchange (right), The Market Column by Peter Griffin deserves inclusion in my album for its commemoration of both the railway and one of its main sources of income, the Cattle Market, formerly on the site of The Exchange. A detail of the column is shown here.
