Booking hall, Tiverton Junction station 
 The booking office at Tiverton Junction station is seen complete with a number of best-kept station competition certificates in the wall-mounted cabinet. The art deco style tiling probably dates from the pre-war era when the station was re-modelled to speed up timings to the West Country. The station closed on 12.05.86 with the opening of Tiverton Parkway station some three miles northeast. It took another five years until the station was demolished but I suspect that this lovely GWR tiling and other fittings were not saved.
