Lyme Regis railway station in 1935Photo of the Lyme Regis train station, Dorset, England, as it was in 1935. The Lyme Regis station was opened in 1903 but faced closure again in 1965 together with the Branch line it was situated on: the Lyme Regis Branch Line (from Axminster). It was a single platform station and only had a small wooden building which is the large 'shed' on the right here I presume?
The station and so on is no more and the site has been transferred into a small industrial estate.

The station building has survived, it was acquired by the Mid Hants Railway, dismantled and transported to Alresford Station in Hampshire where it has been totally refurbished and re-erected to provide additional station facilities for the preserved line.
