My Uncle recently died. We had a common interest in railways and I have been left with a large box of railway related nic nak which includes 4 postcards of Bristol Temple Meads 1 of what says Brstol Bath Road station (which i can only assume is a mis print and its actually Bath Road depot) and 2 of Bath Spa station.
Out of the box so far these are the only ones from the Bristol/Bath area and I thought someone with an interest in the stations in those areas would like them. Im not looking for much for them only a fiver.
Im scanning them in tonight so if anyone is interested in them let me know and ill find somewhere to put them online.

I have finally managed to scan the pictures so here they are. If anyone is interested let me know.
Hope it comes out OK if not let me know and I can email the scans to you.
BATH SPA in 1952
this one shows a dip in one of the platforms.
BRISTOL TEMPLE MEADS
Shows 1454 taking on water
1953 outside picture of BTM
Another outside shot this time in 1966
This picture says its Bristol Bath Road Station in 1954 but I think it could actually be the Bath Road Depot maybe someone here knows.

bristol bath road station
I can assure that the photo is not of Bath rd depot I have a large copy of that photo and it is of a station some where but none of my mates have been able to come up with a positive answer as to where it is.So lets hope some one out there knows where it is. 
Just a guess: might it be Weston station - the first stop out of Bath Green Park towards Mangotsfield? Someone might have been confused between "Bath Bristol Road" and "Bristol Bath Road".Cheltenham Flyer wrote: Where on earth is that? It looks Midland to me!
The station closed in 1953 according to one source.

mystry station
on looking at the photo more closely i now think it could be station on the old Barry line in south wales look at the top of the building and notice the inlaid B R sign which is not the British rail sign of 1954 c;you might be able to also see an excursion to Barry island on one of the board's,get cracking detectives lol
