East Lyng, Taunton is situated in the TA 3 postal district of Somerset. The area is historically linked to the Yeovil–Taunton line, a railway built by the Bristol and Exeter Railway (B&ER) to connect its main line with the market town of Yeovil. The line opened in 1853 and employed the broad gauge of 7 ft 1⁄4 in, making it the first railway to serve Yeovil. It ran from a junction at Durston, and in later years passenger trains on the line operated through to and from Taunton, where better main and branch line connections could be made. This historical railway connection provides a tangible link to the region’s industrial heritage and the development of transport links in the 19th century.
