Railway History Book

February through to October 2025.
We are compiling a publication of the history of our stations, buildings, and the impact of the railway on our local communities.

As part of the Blackmore Vale Community Rail Partnerships Railway 200 celebrations, we are compiling a publication of the history of our stations, buildings, and the impact of the railway on our local communities. The book could consist of a series of chapters written about each station by our knowledgeable local historians.

The team of historians is: 

  • David Lloyd for Gillingham.
  • Mike Frackiewicz for Crewkerne.
  • Brian Haigh for Yeovil.
  • Giles Harvey for Sherborne.
  • Christine Scott and Caroline for Templecombe.
  • Anne Maryon Davis for Tisbury.
  • Derek Beer for disused stations of Dinton, Semley, Milborne Port and Sutton Bingham. 

Bid to CRN for printing and publicity for book and book launch.
