Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company
The Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company was a British railway company established in the 19th century. It aimed to connect the towns of Salisbury in Wiltshire and Yeovil in Somerset, facilitating transportation and trade in the region. The railway was officially opened in 1860, enhancing local connectivity and contributing to economic growth.
The company operated a line that was approximately 20 miles long, which included several stations along the route. Over time, the railway became part of larger railway networks, eventually merging with other companies, reflecting the broader consolidation trends in the British railway industry.
