Station
The small station has all the usual facilities. The station is on the imaginary
Mere
Branch set in the Blackmore Vale with the
branch following the
Shreen Water for five miles and rises seventy
feet in its travel between Gillingham and Mere.
A visit to the area and research showed that at the time of the branch’s
potential construction, the 1880s or 1890s, buildings
were the white
washed as they were built from local stone an
almost chalk like soft limestone dug from Dead Maid Quarry.
I felt the building on
Knowehead
would be a good reflection of this tradition.
