Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Snapper Halt was a station on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a famously scenic narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon. The station served a rural area near the hamlet of Snapper. The hamlet drives its name from La Snappe - first recorded in 1256 - meaning "boggy land". Some believe that there was once an inn named The Snapper or similar, in the vicinity, although further details have not been uncovered. The halt opened in June 1904, and closed with the line on 29 September 1935. From 1923 until closure, the line was operated by the Southern Railway. After closure, one of the coaches - 6991 - was placed on a short length of track at Snapper halt, and used as a summer house. It was truncated in the 1960s and was eventually burned.
