DVDExcellent condition throughoutRAILWAYS REMEMBEREDMemories of thePLYMOUTH to YEALMPTONRailway77The GWR opened a branch from Millbay to Yealmpton in January 1898.Originally planned to terminate at Modbury, the line servedthe villages of Plymstock, Billacombe, Elburton & Brixton.It stopped at Steer Point where ferries would take passengersacross the river to the villages of Noss Mayo & Newton Ferrers.The film uses photographs and aerial photography together with simulated movie footageto plot the journey through some of the most beautiful country side in the South Hams.The railway is rich in historical experiences and this film will invoke memoriesof the old line in those who remember it and educate those who don’t.Based on the book by Plymouth author, Anthony Kingdom, this unique documentary hasarisen due to the extended nature of its companion film The Plymouth to Turnchapel andCattewater Railways originally intended to be 30 minutes long, but ended up as a 50minute film, so a separate account of the Yealmpton branch has been documented.94 year old Myrtle Hockaday tells us about the days when she caught the Kitley Belleferry from Noss Mayo to connect with the train and a section giving brief informationabout the power units used on the line will add interest for the railway buffs.A short section showing the LSWR Branch from Friary Station to Turnchapel is also included.This film signals a first in that it includes narration from Plymouthauthor Anthony Kingdom, on whose book the film is based.
