We journey on to take a look at Loddiswell Station in South Devon which closed in 1963. It lay dormant and almost forgotten until Sheila and John Hall came upon it in the very early 1970's. They managed to purchase the old station and begin a two year restoration programme.
Several changes were made to comply with building and planning regulations and the outcome has been very pleasing.

At the beginning of the 20th Century, the station was used by a group of refugee French Monks who used the railway to transport an entire 'flat pack' monastery which they proceeded to build at nearby Wood Barton. During the Second World War, the line was a strategic transport link and General (later Field Marshal) Montgomery was recorded as passing through visiting top secret preparations for Allied troops before D-Day.
The present owners retired from the RAF and moved seven years ago.
