Somerset Railway (The
Strawberry Line)
The
line opened to Shepton Mallet on Tuesday 9 November 1858 and was extended to Wells
in 1862. In 1870 the line reached Yatton through the
Cheddar Valley. Built as a broad gauge line it connected Whitham to Yatton passing
through Wanstrow, Cranmore, Shepton Mallet and Wells. By 1892 it was converted
to standard gauge. It is still known locally as "The Strawberry Line" as it carried
the fruit grown in the Cheddar valley to the fruit markets of London.
