GO BRITANNIA! Lynton and Lynmouth, Devon (712 words)
Lynmouth is wedged between a steep cliff and the ocean on North Devon's coast, while Lynton looks down from the 500ft (152m) high clifftop on her twin.
The rivers East and West Lyn flow to the sea in a deep cleft between the cliffs, and that was the starting point for disaster when flood swollen waters swept through the village of Lynmouth, hurtling mud and 40,000 tons of boulders and tree trunks on the unsuspecting inhabitants.
Lynton and Lynmouth are on the A39, 18 miles west of Minehead.
Lynton & Barnstaple Railway - Signalling at Lynton (1692 words)
Any study of the signalling at Lynton is complicated by the fact that the track layout and associated signalling underwent a number of changes in the first few years of the railway's existence, and there is very limited photographic evidence of the original arrangements.
Lynton signal-box (SB) was a small wooden hut, similar in style to those used at the main intermediate stations, which was mounted at the back of the platform between the station building and the end of the bay platform.
After these changes the general track layout remained unaltered then for the rest of the life of the station, although there were further changes to the signalling installation during the subsequent period of Southern Railway ownership.
