Andy and I arrived at Ferryside, located on the Towy estuary, in late afternoon and what delightful place it was! To rest our weary selves, we bought ice creams and, after removing our shoes, had a relaxing paddle in the sea. This image shows the GW Type 3 signal box opened sometime in the 1880s. Even though this view does not show it, the box is in a superb location with the beach and the estuary just behind it. It is such a shame that the the ghastly 1960s style footbridge dominates any view of the box. The comedian Paul Merton visited Ferryside station in episode one of the three-part series Paul Merton's Secret Stations.
