ECC private siding and sheds, Heathfield
ECC private siding and sheds, Heathfield
This is the now unused Heathfield to Newton Abbot branchline, with a view of the English China Clay transfer shed and private siding on the right. This line formerly carried rail traffic to Moretonhampstead on Dartmoor and also up the Teign valley to Exeter, via Christow. In recent times, it still served two factories at nearby Heathfield Industrial Estate, although nowadays it is virtually mothballed. There are regular rumours that it may be reopened in the future.
