1960s. All pics very kindly supplied by Gerald Peacock :)

82040 about to leave Clifton Bridge with a Portishead service. Ashton Swing Bidge, complete with road and cabin on the top deck, is visible in the background.

The same train departs the station and passes under the bridge at Rownham Hill.

The only publicly accessible part of Clifton Bridge station is this footbridge which connects Ashton Meadows with Clanage Road.
|
|
The view from the bridge back towards Ashton Gate Station.
|
|
The view panned slightly to the right. The buildings in the background are the ex-civil engineering works at Ashton Gate Meadows. The strip of land between the allotments and the railway boundry fence is the site of Ashton Gate Carriage Sidings.

Looking at the Clifton Bridge with Clifton Suspension Bridge visible behind. The station iteslf is now the headquarters of the mounted division of Avon and Somerset Police.

|
This huge wall once held up a large arc-roofed canopy.
|
|
All locked up with nobody home. The Up platform exit makes for a rather sad sight.
