Wincanton request




Can anybody help with the following request (please email any info to leysiner@aol.com)

I am interested in finding out where in Wincanton the rail track and station
are. I live in Wincanton and I don't know where it is I understand it was ripped up in 1968 or so.

    The track ran roughly where Shadwell Lane and Cavalier Way are then due south - it's visible on Google Maps once south of the A303.

    There is a map on this website showing the town in 1885 with the track and station on the left hand side.
