 Some historical spots

A couple of panels of Narrow Gauge railway track uncovered by the tides on Bude Beach.

These rails have been hidden for decades under the sands

Sand was collected from the beach for use on the fields of Devon and Cornwall and a railway was used to remove the sand and thence taken inland via the Bude canal, these are relics in situ on the beach.


Can anyone shed any light on this old vessel at Bideford Quay?
