The Old Mineral Line & Incline
is visible from the cottages.
View from the Coleridge Way
Cottages across Leigh Barton to the old Mineral Line Incline in
the background.
The history
of the mineral line and the incline is a wonderful story of
what used to occur here in Exmoor every day years ago.
You can retrace the incline and the tracks as
a wonderful walk or read all about it in this very interesting book
with wonderful photographs by R.J. Sellick who lives in Luxborough.
An independent and sometimes eccentric line, which
connected the local port of Watchet with long abandoned mines and
deserted villages more than 1000 feet high on the Brendon Hills,
the West Somerset Mineral Railway enjoys a place in West Somerset
folklore unrivalled by any closed branch line.
Rarely accorded its full title, it is invariably referred
to with nostalgic affection as the ‘old mineral line’.
In this collection of historic photographs and expert commentary,
R.J. Sellick traces the story of the Mineral Railway from its beginnings
in 1856, through its fitful decline, to the end of the company in
1925. He also offers guidance to exploring what remains of the railway
from routes open to the public.
