View towards the site of the old Brent Station
This view changed fairly recently with the demolition of the old signal box. It deserved a better fate.

South Brent station, rather where it used to be !
South Brent station site, showing the disused but still surviving signalbox which was on the down platform of the now demolished station. Image shows the same site in rather different weather conditions.

Brent Station, with train
View eastwards, towards Newton Abbot, Exeter etc.; ex-GWR London etc. - Exeter - Plymouth - Penzance main line. Until 16/9/63, Brent was the junction for the branch to Kingsbridge; Brent was closed on 5/10/64. Here in 1958 it was still active: leaving for Penzance is the 05.20 express from Paddington, headed by a Collett 'Castle' 4-6-0 No. 4087 'Cardigan Castle'; in the bay is a 2-6-2T 5168 ready to bank the next Down freight train up the formidable Rattery Bank ahead.

South Brent station
This is the site of the former Great Western station in South Brent. The red brick former goods shed is now a dental surgery, a very valuable asset in our village, and hidden behind the locomotives exhaust is the signal box, the other major station building that remains. The signal box was required as the station was the junction for the delightful branch to Kingsbridge. On the skyline are the rooftops of Station Road.
This steam hauled special produced plenty of exhaust on this very wet morning, hauled by Black Five 44871(leading) and Britannia 70013.

Primrose Junction Dental Surgery, South Brent
The village is lucky to have a dental surgery, and for this building to have been saved and converted into it. Originally this area was the railway station yard, and this building was the Goods Shed built by the GWR. The conversion was excellent, with a mezzanine floor added that fits in with the original internal structural ironwork. See Image for a different view.
