West Somerset Railway – Camra (Somerset Branch) A WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY – CAMRA (SOMERSET BRANCH) A REAL ALE GUIDE TO THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY Special thanks are due to the members of the Somerset Branch of CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale) who carried out nearly all of the pub and brewery research which is contained in this Guide. CAMRA has been the leading consumer voice for beer drinkers and pub goers for over 40 years and details of membership can be found in most if not all of the pubs in this Guide. The Branch also produces a quarterly Newsletter “Pints of View” which you may find in the pubs and will give you up to date information about local pub and brewery news. The West Somerset Railway is England’s longest “heritage” railway with its trains running over twenty miles of line between Bishops Lydeard station (four miles from Taunton) and Minehead. The Railway can be reached by public transport. The nearest railway and coach stations are in Taunton and First Bus service 28 runs a regular service from both of those to Bishops Lydeard station. The best way to explore the Railway and the communities is to purchase a Day Rover Ticket which lets you get on and off trains as you wish through the day and these can be purchased at a discounted rate from the website at www.west-somerset- railway.co.uk. During the two days of the Real Ale Festival at Minehead station in September CAMRA Members can obtain discounted Rover Tickets over the counter by showing their membership cards (but not at other times, unfortunately). In total there are 10 stations along the route of the line and this Guide lists 8 of them from which have pubs serving real ale either within a sensible walking distance or along a bus route. The two exceptions are firstly Crowcombe Heathfield which is otherwise an idyllic rural station but sadly over a mile and a half from the Carew Arms in Crowcombe or the Blue Ball Inn at Triscombe. Apart from the distance the walk to these does involve a potentially hazardous section of the A358 road. Secondly Doniford Halt is only of drinkers’ interest to those who wish to take a walk to the pubs in Watchet or Williton. On the other side of the coin WSR trains pass close by the “Farmers Arms” at Combe Florey but there has never been station or halt at Combe Florey. It is accessible over a rural footpath from Bishops Lydeard station which will take around an hour, otherwise it is a fairly long step along a very busy and hazardous road from the village bus stop. Despite its reputation as a cider drinking county there has always been a strong brewing tradition in Somerset and currently there are no less than 14 independent brewers in the county. These include the larger concerns such as Cotleigh and Exmoor based in Wiveliscombe and then go down to the very small concerns such as Odcombe and Stowey. You are very unlikely to find the products of all of them whilst exploring the pubs in this Guide, but “guest beer” appearances will probably produce some whilst on the other side of the coin you are more than likely to find at least one or two pumps serving products from brewers in the surrounding counties such as Otter. In the last few years St Austell has extended its trading range widely through South West England and their products will be found in many outlets. Back in the days of the brewery-tied pubs the majority of the licensed houses in West Somerset were divided up between Courage, Grand Metropolitan (under the Ushers brand name) and Whitbread. As the pub owning business has looked more and more to the bottom line many rural pubs have become free houses or part of pub company chains. The free houses and to some extent the pubcos have created the market for the smaller breweries to sell their products. In the last few years St Austell has extended its tied estate into Somerset and marketed their products vigorously to the free trade as well, meaning that the visiting drinker to the area is very likely to be find one or more of the Cornish regional brewer’s products, including seasonal specials, on the bar in many of the local pubs. A result of these developments is that there can be quite a rate of change in what pubs have to offer and their quality. With a change of licensee the beer range, menus and welcome can become completely different to what has gone before, for good or for ill. Badly run pubs or ones that acquire a dubious reputation can go to the wall and close, sometimes for a short period before a new landlord or landlady moves in and sometimes for good. With that in mind we have kept this Guide basic and cheap to purchase, rather than going for heavier paper and binding, in the knowledge that it will go out of date quickly. If you find changes that you think should be reported please e-mail [email protected]. By the same reckoning we will place changes – the one’s we are reliably informed of - on the West Somerset Railway website www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk. When we reprint the Guide we will put that information on the website also and if you wish to replace the issue you hold with the new one before visiting simply send it back to West Somerset Railway, The Railway Station, Minehead, TA24 5BG with a cheque for £1.00 and the latest version will be yours. Although this is a Beer Guide a number of the pubs also sell traditional cider. With the takeover and subsequent closure of Taunton Cider the largest producer locally is Sheppy’s. There are smaller concerns and if you wish to visit a traditional cider making farm alight at Washford station. Follow the walking route to the White Horse and take the left hand fork in the road junction. This bears left over the trackbed of the old West Somerset Mineral Railway (closed over 100 years ago) and shortly beyond this is Torre Cider where you learn about the making of Somerset Cider, try and purchase if you wish. Just allow good time to get back to the train and treat the product with lots of respect. TAUNTON Although WSR trains currently begin and end their journeys at Bishops Lydeard, 4 miles from the county town of Somerset, we have included two pubs within sensible walking distance of the main line railway station in case you have some time to wait for a train home. If you leave the station from platform 5 and by the main entrance adjacent to the ticket office aim across towards Riley’s snooker hall (closed) on the corner of Railway Street and turn right along the main road. With the imposing St Andrews Church on your left as you head along the road cross over two zebra crossings and opposite the triangular road junction on the left you will find The Grove. Formerly the Cherry Grove this pub has undergone quite a transformation in recent years and regularly serves 2 to 3 rotating guest ales together with regular ones from the Butcombe, Cotleigh and Exmoor ranges. The opening hours are midday to midnight on Saturdays, 2 p.m. to midnight Monday to Friday and on Sundays midday to 10.30 p.m. Draught cider comes from Tricky’s. The internal layout is a large open bar with TV and pool table. Darts and skittles are played. Alternatively leave from platform 2 through the archway, turn right and then left down the ramp. At the bottom of this cross the road by the zebra crossing, turn left under the bridge and around fifty yards on you will come to The Plough. The entrance is off the side alley and the pub is a lot large than it appears from the front with back rooms going back some distance. Beers and traditional ciders are dispensed on gravity and the beers are Otter Amber and selected ones from the Bath, Cotleigh and Exmoor ranges. The traditional ciders are from Sheppys, Trickys and Orchard Pig. Food concentrates on pies. Opening hours are 11.00 a.m. to midnight Mondays to Wednesdays and 11.00 a.m. to 2.00 a.m. Wednesdays to Sundays. A number 28 bus runs between the two railway stations at 30 minute intervals with a journey time of some 20 minutes EN ROUTE Not strictly on any part of the WSR but if time permits it’s worth breaking your journey between Taunton and Bishops Lydeard to call in at The Cross Keys. A large stone built pub it has a split level open plan layout and a large garden above a stream with a covered area for smokers. There is usually a choice of four or five different ales, many from smaller brewers. The policy is also to support local brewers and a visual check of the pump clips around the walls will show how many beers have been available down the years. The pub is open 11 to 11 Monday to Saturday and midday to 10.30 and food is available for most of that time including some price deals. BISHOPS LYDEARD Despite the growth of the village in recent years it has not been enough to prevent two pubs closing and with the loss of The Bell the old trick of “if you wish to find the pub head for the church” won’t work any longer.

    THE PLATFORM THE OFFICIAL E-NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY No. 5 December 2020 With all good wishes to everyone for Christmas, and for 2021 From the Chairman We are now able – at long last - to give you some seriously good news, and the evidence is that steam trains are once again running on our railway, albeit at the moment undertaking training and test runs. We will, we very much hope, be welcoming passengers back on the railway on the Christmas trains later this month. Of course this depends on the situation with the pandemic, and safety and protection of our passengers, staff and volunteers is always going to be the first priority. But our passengers share our optimism and some of the trains are already fully booked, which is great news. We are also optimistic about next year and preparations are fully underway to bring the railway back to its position as one of the premier heritage railways. In the meantime I would like to wish you all, and your families, a Very Happy Christmas and a much better 2021!

  • The Train to Downton Abbey? Presented by Ron Johnson Free Advice and Opinions: [email protected]
    The Train to Downton Abbey? Presented by Ron Johnson Free Advice and opinions: [email protected] The recent popularity of the Downton Abbey TV program has raised interest in old British homes and British history in general. Is it possible to drop in to visit Lord and Lady Grantham and get a spot of tea from cook? Err, not quite. But Britain is thick with hundreds of old preserved homes that follow the Downton model with kitchen downstairs and library, drawing rooms and possibly a ghost or two upstairs. Even better, Britain is also stuffed with thousands of avid railfans who have done incredible work preserving and operating old trains, including many steam locomotives. It is quite possible to tour Britain combining these two interests, as I have with my wife and friends some 30 times. This presentation is designed to whet your appetite for touring Britain and enjoying these combined interests. Getting There If you have never been overseas, Britain is the easiest place to start. Many of the natives speak a form of English, although it is not so clear as the English spoken by the Swedes or Dutch. Airline tickets are readily available, although not necessarily cheap. Your most likely point of arrival is at Heathrow Airport, which is convenient for my recommended tour. Gatwick and some smaller airports also serve London, and Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, etc., also have international flights. Getting Around Most of the restored railroads and grand homes are located in the countryside and a rental car is the easiest way to reach most destinations.

  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.

  • The Newsletter of the West Somerset Railway and Associated Support Organisations May 2018
    Online Newsletter May 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY AND ASSOCIATED SUPPORT ORGANISATIONS MAY 2018 TWO POPULAR DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES SUCCESSFULLY TESTED. A convoy of diesel locomotives - Class 33 ‘Crompton’ nos D6566 and D6575, Class 14 no D9526 and Class 35 ‘Hymek’ no D7017 - travelled from the Diesel & Electric Preservation Group's Williton base to Bishops Lydeard in the early morning of Saturday, 21 April, 2018 and later, D9526 used the Bishops Lydeard - Norton Fitzwarren section for proving trials of its newly overhauled engine and it seems all was very well. The ‘Hymek’ headed for the loco shed and the DEPG's team used the pit to access the underside of the loco to change and readjust the brake blocks. Again, all went well. The two ‘Cromptons’ started off in top/tail formation with a rake of three Mk1 coaches with D6566 leading from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead and D6575 trailing as a dead load (ie not powering). Since this was equal to roughly a seven coach load, this was another proving test for D6566 following its major overhaul and repair works. At Minehead, D6566 ran round, and later worked a ‘Crompton’ double-headed train of three coaches, although D6575 was not powering. Again, no problems were found, so a successful day of trials for the DEPG. S & D RAILWAY TRUST AND WSR PLC SIGN 50 YEAR LEASE. At our AGM on Saturday 21 April 2018, Ian Coleby (Chairman of West Somerset Railway Plc) and Ian Young (Chairman of S&DRT Ltd) signed a new 50 year lease for our Washford base.
