향수를 불러일으키는 곳으로 모두 탑승하세요! Shillingstone Station은 Dorset 시골에 자리 잡은 아름답게 보존된 1950년대 타임캡슐과 같습니다. 한때 전설적인 Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway("Slow and Dirty")의 중요한 정거장이었던 이곳은 현재 헌신적인 자원봉사자 팀에 의해 정성스럽게 복원되고 있습니다. 원래 플랫폼을 거닐고, 빈티지 신호소를 탐험하고, 개조된 철도 차량에서 차를 마실 수도 있습니다. North Dorset Trailway 하이커들이 지나가는 동안 Brief Encounter의 엑스트라인 척하기에 완벽한 장소입니다. 오늘은 Bath행 기차가 없지만 분위기는 순수한 금입니다!

Historic Significance: It is a Grade I Listed Building (the highest level of protection), noted for its special architectural and historic interest. Age: The first record of the bridge dates back to 1334, suggesting its medieval origins, with parts of the current structure likely dating to the 15th century. Construction: It is built of coursed rubble and ashlar stone and features nine semi-circular arches. Widening: The bridge was widened in 1819. The upstream side is the original, medieval part and features triangular cut-waters which extend up to form pedestrian refuges. The downstream side is the later, plainer widening. Inscriptions: There is a reset stone on the east side of the bridge inscribed with the year 1719. Name Origin: The bridge is named Crawford Bridge because it carries the road from Spetisbury to Tarrant Crawford. The nearby area of Spetisbury was historically one of three manors, including Great Crawford.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Try the food at the station lovely pasties
