Looking towards Yate on the left and Bath on the right.	A sculpture at the Bristol end of the station.	The remains of the underpass are still visible.	A row of cut-off cast iron pillars that once supported a canopy. The nearest one was home to a nesting coal tit at the time of my visit.
The remains of the station on the Bristol - Yate side. This is from a courtyard between the Bristol-Yate and Bristol-Bath triangle.	And the platform-side remains of the station on the Bristol - Yate side.	Looking through one of the windows into the area where the station buildings used to be.	There are bits of tiled surface still visible at various places along the main platform.
