The reinforced arch of Cannington Viaduct
During the construction of this viaduct, one of the first two in the country to be made entirely from unreinforced concrete, the builders encountered subsidence problems and had to partly fill in this particular arch.

Track and road, Alder Grove
A curious spot. The unfenced lane through Shapwick Grange Farm performs an extravagant hairpin off to the left here, although it is scarcely doing so in order to gain height. At the point of the hairpin is the entrance road into Uplyme Quarry, which works chalk and sandstone http://www.devon.gov.uk/amlp-ip20_uplyme_quarry.pdf . Clearly impatient with the circuitous route around the bend, vehicles have carved short cuts across the neck of it, of which this is one. The chalk is much in evidence. Alder Grove is the wood on the right. You can see Shapwick Cottages up the valley ahead.

Cannington Viaduct
This 600ft long viaduct was opened in August 1903 to carry steam trains on the branch line from Axminster to Lyme Regis. It was one of the first two railway viaducts in the UK to be constructed entirely from mass concrete that had not been reinforced, the other being the Borrodale Viaduct. Unfortunately the builders encountered subsidence and had to fill-in and reinforce the arch on the left.
Sadly the line was closed in 1965 and this is all that remains except for the original Lyme Regis Station, which was rescued and now used as a buffet at Alresford station in Hampshire.
