Saving our Heritage - HFF

Watchet Harbour. The photo shows the remains of the West Somerset Mineral Railway. The line opened c1861 and ore mined in the Brendan Hills was transported to Watchet and then shipped on to Newport for the ironworks at Ebbw Vale.

A very loose link here but I have added 'Chains' by Tina Arena

A perfect locations, Carol. Once a thriving harbour, now deserted but beautiful.
HFF and a great weekend.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you very much Amelia. Really appreciated. It is still used but the emphasis would seem to be mostly on sailing and not on working boats. You are right though -it is a nice little place and I love the statue of the Ancient Mariner on the harbourside. A belated HFF and have a great weekend

Very nice and a good HFF with a heritage twist

Shows what can be done - I wish Whitehaven had done this rather than lift all the rail off their harbour.
