Many years ago, my wife bought me a DVD from the W C & P Railway Group, as a Christmas present: "Somerset's Lost Railway - the story of the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway".  It's 90 minutes of fascinating material, much of it in colour.

You're welcome to borrow it: I'll post it to you. CfN.

Hello Grahame,
re the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway there is interest group with a website www.wcpr.org.uk which looks fairly comprehensive. YouTube also has some content, hope this helps.

I came across Fenland on Film a few minutes ago ... these are stills from a film.  Are there any films / records of light railways in our area such as the Biddeford, Westward Ho! and Appledore, or the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead?
