Clevedon
OS Reference ST406702
Opened on 28th July 1847. Closed to goods on 10th June 1963 and passengers on 3rd October 1966. The original 1847 station was rebuilt in 1890. Following closure the station site was demolished in May 1968 and redeveloped as the Triangle Centre.
I would like to thank Jane Lilly and Rita Gregory of the Clevedon Civic Society History Group for letting me use her photos. Much appreciated :)
My pictures were taken on a very, very cold and miserable 6.2.06.

The station is now the site of a Morrisons supermarket.

The route out of the site of Clevedon station is traceable for some way. The first section runs through this carpark....

|
... before passing the premises of the 1st Clevedon Scouts.

After passing the 1st Clevedon Scout's building the surviving route comes to a halt at a concrete wall and a row of conifers. Too mundane to waste webspace on! This is the view from the concrete wall towards Clevedon station with the back of the scout hut visible at the end of the green strip of ex-railway.
