Shirehampton
Opened on the 6th March 1865. This was the headquarters for the Bristol Port Railway & Pier, the company that built the section of line between Avonmouth and Hotwells.
The goods yard at Shirehampton was closed on 29th November 1965 although a private siding remained in use, serving an oil distribution company, until 1985.

Looking towards Hung Road.

The platform shelter.

|
Next to the shelter is this rather well protected electrical cabinet.
|
|
I assume this building (which is on the path to the carpark) is an old ticket office.
|
|
Station nameboard and information board located in the station carpark.

Back on the platform and standing at the Avonmouth end looking back along where we've walked. The Up platform is completely covered in undergrowth.

Looking towards Avonmouth. The bridge in the foreground is the one that crosses Station Road. In the background the M5 bridge across the river Avon is just visible.
