Wimborne - site of Wimborne Railway Station
The first railway station in Dorset was built on this site in 1847 having been promoted by Charles Castleman of Allendale House.
Image The line between Southampton and Dorchester was popularly known as "Castleman's Corkscrew" because of the number of route deviations necessary in order to include Wimborne as a main station on the route. The station was closed to passenger traffic in 1964 after the Beeching Act, followed by the goods trains in 1977. The industrial unit in the photo was built on the site of the old station, opposite which is a tree lined section of the old railway embankment. The Wimborne Market complex beyond was built on the site of the goods yard.
