Torrington Fondly Remembered

A Memory of Taddiport.

I have a lot of memories, some good some not so good. I arrived in Torrington employed as a fireman by British Rail, this was a year or two before the demise of steam and indeed the Torrington /Barnstable branch line. I lodged in New Street for a week or two, eventually moving to more comfortable digs. I met and married a local girl (alas we later parted), but never the less, it was a great time in my life. I remember my first May Day, courting on Castle Hill and hundreds of other lovely memories. Alas all good things come to an end and with the closing of Torrington loco shed I lost my job and had to move on. My best memory is of my then mother in law Beaty, a lovely, lovely lady.
