Shillingstone Station Project - Dorset.

Shillingstone Station Project - Dorset.
Originally uploaded by LLAPhotography

It was a small station built to the north east of the mile-long village of Shillingstone (formerly Shilling Okeford) which lines the A357 road. It consisted of two platforms. On the up platform, which was the shorter of the two, the brick-built station buildings were found. These carried an ornate awning, unusual for stations at the southern end of the line. To the south of the station buildings, behind the platform, were found a well-tended garden with flower beds, shrubs and a greenhouse. The down platform, which was much longer, was home to a small wooden shelter.

The Gardens
One interesting feature is the Knot Garden, an arrangement of formal beds about a well, shaped like a Celtic cross (see photo), in imitation of St Martins cross on Iona. It is rumoured that a Celtic monk from Iona was responsible for founding the Abbey at Malmesbury. Equally unusual is the Dinosaur Grove, planted with trees that prospered when dinosaurs lived. The extensive rose beds echo the style popular in Tudor times.
