A small group of caches to mark the 50th anniversery of the cessation of passenger traffic on the Yatton to Witham line, known as the Strawberry Line, on Saturday 7th September 1963. The official date of closure was 9th September 1963 as no passenger trains ran on Sunday so Monday 9th would have been the next working day.
Wookey station was sited at the north of the village.
the station was opened on 1st August 1871 on the Cheddar to Wells section of the Cheddar Valley and Yatton Railway. The actual line had opened through the station site on 5th April 1870.
The station closed to goods traffic on 10th June 1963 apart from private siding traffic to the nearby paper mills.
Passenger ticket sales were always quite low. They were 8,322 in 1903 but had declines to 1,789 by 1933.
Currently the goods shed still remains but the station buildings and signal box have been demolished.
