麻豆社

An extract from the 麻豆社 TV documentary film 'Brief Journey', filmed to mark the opening of the south-west's first television transmitter in 1954. The clip follows a Royal Navy sailor on a train journey across Dartmoor.

The clip opens with footage of a bustling Plymouth station, before the steam train on which the sailor travels departs for Yelverton. Here he changes onto the long closed King Tor branch line which takes him past Burrator Reservoir.
