47716 Duke of Edinburgh's Award passes the disused sidings at Exmouth Junction on 10 July 1993, as it nears journey's end with the late running 1V08 08:35 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids Network SouthEast service. Exmouth Junction was the site of the Southern Railway's concrete works, that turned out all manner of prefabricated concrete structures, including: PW huts, fences, footbridge, platforms, etc. After the concrete plant closed, the site became a large coal concentration depot, as seen here. Apart from the sidings nearest the mainline, the site has now been completely obliterated, with the area now used for commercial storage purposes. |
