Shooting Range Platform
Shooting Range Platform
"The platform was built around 1880 to serve a firing range with trains only stopping with written permission from the army. Periods of use centred around the Boer and World War One. Troops were always sent by rail as there was no other means of access. Use of the range ceased after this although the platform, with its cinder surface, was maintained into the 1950s. " LinkExternal link . The rifle range in question ran along the strip of land between the railway line and the River Camel.
