The Railway Heritage Group is an active community group concerned with the installation of historic artefacts around the site of the former Somerset & Dorset Railway line between Highbridge and Burnham. You will see numerous artefacts throughout the towns .

On Great Station Approach, the Town Council manages a replica signal box that was donated by the group and available to hire.

This is a great venue for a” pop-up shop”.

(please note it does not have mains electric)

To book the signal box please call reception on 01278 788088 to confirm your dates are available and submit a booking form. You can collect one from reception, or you can download one here:
