I use to see her every week at bullo pill just south of Newnham from the train (usually just the upper works). she was in Bristol then to Gloucester. she was done up nicely but vandals got on board and did a fair bit of damage so was moved to Newnham.
One of the Gloucester WSS members John Hooper (now sadly crossed the bar) who was the local reporter, had a 64th share (or part of) in her so we had the occasional updates on her restoration project.
But lack of funds meant there was a lot of work needed to be done and from what I can gather there was some anxiety that she wouldn't make the trip to Bideford.
There is a painting of her in the gallery.
