Summary
| Description |
English: Disused Princetown Railway Bridge, King's Tor. A sturdy bridge carrying the Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway as it approached Little King Tor. A couple of Dartmoor ponies are taking shelter from the wind in its archway. The line, which opened in 1823, was constructed as a tramroad to carry stone from Foggintor Quarry off the moor. It was later adapted in 1882 as the GWR branch line from Yelverton to Princetown. The line finally closed in March 1956 due to dwindling use (prior to the Beeching cuts), and the track removed a year later. |
