Maurice, in line with your description of product in wagons, could it be Manganese ore ? Research I've done suggests a connection between Manganese Dioxide and Attenburrows. If correct, could it be Doddiscombeleigh, Devon ? |

BigglesH (What a pity you could not contact me directly rather than wait a month for me to come across this by chance.) July 1923 is just six month after the amalgamation of the railways so it is rather surprising to find this shot already includes three wagons carrying the letters LMS - London Midland and Scottish Railway. Most of the wagons carry pre-grouping initials GC - Great Central, LY - Lancashire and Yorkshire, NB - North British, MR - Midland, GW - Great Western and GE - Great Eastern. This really offers nothing towards a location as by this time nearly all wagons, especially non-specialist wagons seen here, were in a common pool and could be worked anywhere by any railway. There are several private owner wagons but unfortunately they are not decipherable. (See pins.) However as these are not the same it is possible that they are just visiting rather than being at their home base, and again don't provide a firm clue to the location. |

Also see images EPW008947 and EPW008941 which seem to be in the same territory with the same type of rock/mineral product being quarried. |

I believe that this area is shown in the distance on photo EPW008734 |

This the same location but on a different day. The relationship between the tale signal and the crossover on the mainline would almost be enough to assert this, but the buildings in the background along the curving track confirm the opinion. |
