at Henstridge Station in July of 1961. The small goods siding can be seen on the left of the line between the end of the platform and the distant road bridge. |

The siding was controlled by a local ground frame. There was a level crossing at the Southern end of the platform, this being worked by hand. The station was unique to the S&D in being the only main line station without a passing loop. |
