All that remains of Bridge 6 "Derby Lane Bridge" which went over the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway - this is the west face, with the bridge almost entirely filled in by a parking area for the surrounding houses. The track ran from the bottom of the picture, and under the brick parapet wall, approximately eight feet below the present tarmac level

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway was a 19 mile long narrow gauge railway, which ran across the stunning Exmoor landscape, from 1898, until its closure in 1935. In 2004, after many years of hard work and negotiation, a small section was re-opened. One of the world’s most famous little railways, you can read more of the exciting plans for the coming years at LinkExternal link
