Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS NOT ACCESSABLE FROM THE MAIN ROAD. FOLLOW THE FOOTPATH INSTEAD. 

A micro (35mm film pot at the time of hiding) just above the former site of Milverton Station on the Devon and Somerset Railway.

This line initially ran from Taunton to Wiveliscombe, before the completion of the remainder connected it to Barnstaple. The line closed on the 1st October 1966. 

The station at Milverton in Somerset was initially just a single platform on the south side of the line with a brick building. A passing loop and second platform were installed in 1880; the line east to Norton Fitzwarren was doubled on 7 February 1937. The station had a signal box on the westbound platform and a small goods yard to the west of the station on the same side of the line. Goods traffic was withdrawn from 30 September 1963. No trace now remains of the station; the route of the line to the west is now part of the B3227 road.
