Bristol Temple Meads, built back in 1840, must go down as one of the most historic buildings in the city despite its expansion and rebuild in 1870 and continual upgrades and redevelopments.
Starting as a station providing services only as far as Bath, today passengers can catch a direct train to places as far as Edinburgh and Penzance. Its success means around 10 million passengers use the station every year.
And there are now more plans afoot to further enhance the station with new entrances and longer platforms.
Here we document some of the changes and occasions at the historic station from across the years:
17. Cement graffiti
During the Bristol Blitz, Temple Meads station was bombed and the clock tower above the ticket office was destroyed. In 1946, it was repaired as this graffiti on the cement inside the clock chamber shows. | Know Your Place
18. From the air including the Goods Shed
The date on this aerial shot is unknown, but by the now gone Bristol Harbour Railway between the Temple Meads passenger station and Good Shed we can tell it was pre-1983. | Know Your Place
