Looking really good, are you going to include Highbridge "East C" signal box which stood opposite the C & W shop?
Yes, I have. The most useful book I have is "Burnham to Evercreech Junction" published by Middleton Press which shows the signal box on page 21. You might have to click on the image and expand it, the signal box is in the distance but this image shows its location as being beyond the points to the terminal platforms.
I didn't realise this was called "East C" box though, thanks for the information. The book referenced above says that Highbridge "C" (later designated "East A") box was on the other side of the GWR line towards Highbridge Wharf but does not specifically where "East C" was so thanks for the information.
As there was also "East B" plus the GWR signal box it is all very complicated !
The next image shows Dyehouse Lane level crossing, just east of Glastonbury station. Though it looks like there is one double line route here, in actual fact there are two separate lines. The one on the left is from Evercreech Junction and the other from Wells.
