This is currently the only comprehensive website about this railway, and was my first attempt at a website, being first launched in June 2004.

For reference material, I have used all of the books listed on the Books page, and applied to each publisher for permission to use selected images. All but one was happy for me to use a limited number. Copyright issues are a problem, and the few missing images are due to this. If anyone has any images for which they own the copyright, I would be grateful for permission to use them.

I have also researched original material held at the Weston-super-Mare reference library, and was given permission to use some of their images.

For maps, I decided to create my own and got a bit carried away and have created about 26 maps in total, there being a map for each station and ‘feature’ (such as quarries etc.) together with overall maps. These are interlinked and are all quite accurate and should enable the route of the line and location of each station to be reasonably accurately found. There is also a link to modern maps via the Multi-Map website on each station or feature page. Old Ordnance Survey maps are included and there is a Help page for maps if required.

Information is extensively linked, but if you should find difficulty in finding anything try either the Site Search or Site map facilities.

From the outset, I hoped to be able to set up some form of group or society about the railway, and in Nov 2006 we launched the WC&P Railway Group. It is now thriving and growing.

I still intend to further develop this site and would be pleased to receive any suggestions for improvements, or any contributions. I welcome any comments of any kind - see Contact page.

The site was created using Net Objects Fusion 7 then converted to Fusion 9.

Note: This site is tested for both IE version 7 and Firefox 3.0. It should work OK for a range of resolutions. Java script should be enabled. Please contact me if you have any problems with this site or suggestions for improvements.

Thanks for using this website.
