Railway architecture …….. no. 1 .......

Now not all railway architecture needs to be grand or be particularly memorable.

But I like this one, which carried one of the railway lines into the Great Western Warehouse.

Today it is just one of a number which occupy a space used for car parking off Bridgewater Street.

This was the site of the old police station and the façade still exists.
