Although I was an avid railfan when I lived in Britain, I rarely visited Temple Meads until recently. Now I go there regularly when Im in Britain. This is the front entrance, with the taxi rank. The station dates to the days of the GWR, although as far as I know it isnt original. Although the site dates back to 1840, most of the present station dates to 1870, when it was redesigned by Francis Fox to accomodate more traffic. |
