Dorset? Railway Station

This postcard from my collection has always perplexed me - I can't work out which station it is. I think it is a Dorset station because the GWR notice on the wall mentions Bridport, but sadly the station name on the lamp is not readable. Maybe someone can let me know where this is! Date is around 1908 I think.
Best regards
Colin

Grimstone, Dorset

This is apparently Grimstone Station, Dorset which BR closed in 1966.

There is a nice view of this station on a postcard currently for sale on ebay: it shows the station building with its single chimney and the station name board Grimstone and Frampton is nice and clear.

I'm often tempted to copy and paste such images on to the Forum for other members to enjoy but -
- if they're from a book is it a breach of copyright?
- from a site like ebay would I be in breach of their conditions?
