More about this scene
Tipton St John is on the Sidmouth branch line, which ran from 1874 to 1967. The Southern Railway Company always managed to annoy the locals by painting 'Tipton St Johns' on the name board at the station. In 1909 the Post Office - the white building with the sloping roof - was destroyed by floods, and moved into the building next door.
