| Description |
English: Site of Soudley Halt The halt was opened in 1907, after the loss of some freight traffic on the GWR's Forest of Dean branch left some space in the schedule for it, and closed in 1958 after passenger traffic was lost to the far more convenient bus services. It was a fairly simple affair, consisting of a cinder platform and a corrugated iron shelter, and it was situated roughly where the black car is in the foreground. The area once occupied by the halt and the track is now the car park for the White Horse Inn. Immediately before Soudley, loco crews would have tackled the rigorous climb from sea level at Bullo, via two restrictive and lengthy tunnels, and the closed Soudley Halt was a popular place to stop and rebuild the fire, possibly due to the proximity of the White Horse! Taken to replicate a railway-era shot by Ben Ashworth. |
