The Station
Our cottage in West Street used to almost back on to the railway line. We lived next door to Mr and Mrs Dummet (Aunty Mable and Uncle Ern) next door again was the telephone exchange (I think a boy called Michael Elliot lived there) then there was Station Lane then the Alms Houses. I remember when we moved up to the Old Brewery House I couldn't sleep because I really missed hearing the trains go by. We were all sad when they closed the station.

RE: RE: The Station
I remember Somerton station. I used to catch the train to Charlton with my mum every Wednesday to see my gran that lived in Charlton. There used to be a tall lady at the ticket office called Christine Buckland. I also used to play down at the station with friends and the station master used to keep telling us off and said "This is not a play ground!". There were also children playing at being ghosts in the trees. One lot was white and the others were green! I used to climb the trees with my friend Eileen. We called the trees White Ghosts and Green Ghosts and another tree we called Twinkle Toes. Sometimes my parents and I would catch the train to Taunton. It only had 2 carriages. Mum used to call it 'The Motor'.
