Factory at Ilfracombe old station

This unprepossessing and security-conscious factory occupies the site of the old railway station at Ilfracombe. The station was situated high above the main part of the town and there was a sharp drop beyond the buffer stops. Fortunately, despite the line approaching the station on a steep gradient, no trains ever failed to stop before the drop.
