Not far from Exeter, is Station Road, Exminster, and that is where Toby’s Reclamation is situated. ‘Station Road’ should give you a clue as to what you’ll also see frequently flying past!

So Toby’s hasn't always been a reclamation yard...it was once a railway station: Exminster Station. And the 1852 station building still exists.
Exminster station closed for passenger traffic in 1964 and it closed for goods in 1967
I didn’t come home with anything startling but I did pick up a large, blue, enamel bowl, that might make a container pond or failing that…well we shall see!
😁
That is a fascinating place for a wander.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting things to see there:)
ReplyDeleteI would love an afternoon here! My favourite times were when my late father and I would visit the local tip too, and I can't wander past a skip without a look!
ReplyDeleteThese are fun places to wander around, and if you buy something that’s a bonus. We are at the stage where we should start contributing to them, not acquiring more!
ReplyDeleteThat looks a fantastic place to visit! Such a shame all the small train lines were closed in the 60's.
