![Scene at Woody Bay on the narrow gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in August 1995. The station, which closed in 1935, has since been restored [see image 19795]<br><br>[Ian Dinmore /08/1995]](/images/39000/39200.jpg "Woody Bay")
![Looking south west from the B3149 road bridge at Barnstaple in 2002 past the former Gould's Yard and goods shed. The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway ran to the left on its way to Barnstaple Town station, while the River Yeo flows past on the right to join the River Taw a quarter of a mile to the south. Standing on the opposite bank is Rolle's Quay, where the L&SWR goods facilities were once located. <br><br>[Ian Dinmore 05/06/2002]](/images/60000/60561.jpg "Barnstaple Gould^s 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.
