Before we move on to this week’s Mystery Photo, last week’s recap, stated as Hillcrest View, was apparently Hillside View, Peasedown St John. We are finding this problematic sometimes, as in some instances, the names have evolved or changed over time. For those of you scratching your heads about last week’s photograph, we were visiting Camerton.

Thank you to those of you who have been sharing your memories, particularly of the Jolly Collier pub. Railway enthusiasts have also told us about Camerton’s railway line.

Reader, Jonathan Griffin, tells us: “The photo was taken during the construction of the Camerton Branch, which linked up Hallatrow on the GWR Frome to Bristol line with the GWR Bath to Westbury main line.

“The Camerton Branch was immortalised just after closure in the early fifties by the Ealing comedy, ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’.”

The passenger service here was closed in 1914, due to the outbreak of War, but coal trains continued to use it. A passenger service was restored in 1923 until 1925.

When Camerton colliery closed in 1950, the railway followed soon after, in 1951.

So, well done to: Keith and Loraine Pursey, Winston Eyles, Ken Cottle, Jeff Parsons, Paul Hancock, Norma Attwood, Ivor Davis, Gordon Wadsworth, Beryl Rhymer, Bob Ford, Graham Honeybun, Chris Rhymer, Les Box, Hannah Selway, James Selway, Gilmour Jones, Jonathan Griffin, Alan Davis, Terry Reakes, Sally Bown, Pete Callow, Royston Davis, Vincent Baker, Karen Thayer, Simon Chard, Colin Button, Julieann Biggs, Martin Stanford, Mike Pope, Sarah Fogden and Graham Sage, who all guessed correctly! Phew!
