The Pedant & Armchair

The Frome to Evercreech goods rumbles past Polbrook Gurney Colliery. The Pedant & Armchair gets its milk delivery for the Horlicks drinkers. It’s a funny kind of pub, and very popular with elderly single men who still live at home with mother, even though mother passed on a good few years before, often in unexplained circumstances. This parallel universe line ran up the Nettlebridge Valley serving coal and mineral deposits linking the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway at Binegar with the Great Western Railway at Mells Road. The line was jointly operated by the SDJR and the GWR which resulted in an interesting mix of trains. An occasional passenger service also ran mostly to serve the numerous pits.
