Bridport East Street railway station 1.33

Bridport East Street was a railway station on the Bridport Railway in the west of the English county of Dorset. Opened on 11 March 1884, before the extension terminus at West Bay, it was just south of the level crossing on the A35 Dorchester to Honiton road, slightly nearer the centre of Bridport than the main station at Bradpole Road. Closed during the First World War and again in 1921, the station closed permanently with the West Bay extension on 22 September 1930, when the Great Western Railway gave up on hopes of creating a resort at West Bay.The site todayNothing is now left as the site has been under the A35 Bridport town centre bypass for many years.Further reading Railways of Dorset J.H.Lucking Railway Correspondence and Travel Society 1968 (no ISBN)
