East Street (Bridport) railway station
- East Street (Bridport) railway station
Bridport East Street was a railway station on the Bridport Railway in the west of the English county of Dorset. Opened on 11 March 1884, before the extension terminus at West Bay. Sited just south of the level crossing on the A35 road Dorchester to Honiton road, it was slightly nearer the centre of Bridport than the main station at Bradpole Road. Closed during the First World War and again in 1920, the station closed with the West Bay extension on 22 September 1930 when the GWR gave up on hopes of creating a resort at West Bay.
The Site Today
Nothing is now left as the site has been under the A35 Bridport town centre bypass for many years. [http://www.westbay.co.uk/bridport/railway.html]
