Above: This early Sherborn photograph of All Saints Road, supplied by Roger Newman, gives no sign of the imposing building
of the 'Old Station' which lies behind, near the junction with Old Station Road. The old railway line. terminating at the station,
would have run behind the trees on the left, while the main through line was still further to the left.
The goods and shunting yard would have been further along the road with its entrance in Granby Street.

This view of The Severals taken in 1926 is not much different to today apart from the riders dress
