Barnstaple Pilton Yard
Entrance to the former Pilton Yard, Barnstaple, looking east from the A93 Pilton Causeway on 5 June 2002. Once the main depot and operating centre of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, passenger services were provided from the opening of the line in 1898, although from 1904 until closure in 1935 these were retained for the use of staff only. The former carriage and locomotive sheds were destroyed by fire in 1992 and much of the site is now used as a car park. [Ref query 28 November 2017]
