Old Railway Bridge at Rodney Stoke
Here in the village of Rodney Stoke at the foot of the southern slopes of the West Mendips is an old Railway bridge. The Railway stretched from Yatton North Somerset to Frome, while serving most of the villages that nestle along the way, Including the City of Wells where it joined the main South western track of the Great Western railway
Railway at Yatton Junction :: ST4265

The start of the line at Yatton or Strawberry line as it became known due to the production of the fruit along the way as many small farms and gardens grew this juicy fruit and with the advent of the railways its popularity grew as they could be transported quickly to the captiol and other large cities
