THE RAILWAY
A trackman named Stevens found that one of the wooden bridges along the branch railway line from Wareham to Wool had been washed away, ran to Wool where he knocked out the signal pin rendering it inoperable and prevented the next train from starting out. Stevens was rewarded with a set of furniture which he travelled to London to recieve.

Wool was a busy station during the Second World War as it served the nearby Bovington Camp (which had been served by a branch line during the First World War).
