The 1911 Turntable
One swinging bridge that kept three railways moving.
Every locomotive that changed crews at Ashford was turned here, up to sixty a day at the peak.
It is balanced so well that two people can still turn a 200-tonne engine by hand.
See it move: The 1911 Turntable runs on weekends from May to October. Check the events calendar for steam-up days.
