It was great finding this page on Henstridge Station. I love the picture. My Brother and Sister use to spend our Summer Holidays with our Grandparents in Henstridge. They lived in Vale View and we could see part of the line from there. My Brother and I were keen train-spotters and the then Station Master Mr Wareham who was a friend of my Grandfathers who himself was one a train driver would often allow us to stand on the platform. I remember how every day we would arrive in time to watch the Pines Express roar through. The station use to vibrate as it did so. We would also travel to Templecombe and spend all day on the platform noting steam train numbers. Recently on a visit I walked around the area where the station use to be and really wished it could have still been there. Also went to Templecombe which although still open looked so small.
