== History ==

'''Brislington''' station was opened on 3rd September 1873 by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_and_North_Somerset_Railway Bristol & North Somerset Railway]. Closed to passengers on 2nd November 1959 and goods on 7th October 1963.

''An excerpt taken from the Western Daily Press of 4th September 1873:
As all the stations on the line are similar in construction, if not equal in size, we may here mention that they are neat buildings, sufficiently commodious for the traffic of the line, and presenting a solid and substantial appearance. They are not aesthetic, but Mr Ruskin, we know, detests beautiful railway stations as misplaced, and perhaps the directors are of his way of thinking, and prefer utility to splendour. The contractors for this part of the work are Messrs Brock and Brace.''

After the locals suffered years of drug dealing, vandalism and arson the whole site has now been made very secure. The last two pics were taken by waving the camera around above my head and hoping for the best :)

NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

PR 392 1 October 2001
B&NES Chairman to open new Whitchurch path

The Chair of Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES) council, Gerry Curran, will officially open a brand new path connecting Whitchurch and Stockwood near Bristol on Wednesday 10 October at 11.30 am.

The new 0.5 km Whitchurch Path will form part of The West Country Way and National Cycle Route 3. The path is built as a causeway and will take walkers and cyclists over winter ponds and springs that used to flood the old footpath.

The new path extends the Whitchurch Railway Path and provides fine views of Dundry and the surrounding hills.

B&NES council is meeting most of the £75,000 planning and building costs, while National Cycle Route charity Sustrans initiated the project and is using national lottery funding to grant aid the work.

The path crosses the boundary between Bath & North East Somerset and Bristol City Council and is the result of close cooperation between the two councils.

B&NES council has invited representatives of Bristol City Council to the opening, which will take place at the public open space at Craydon Grove, Stockwood, Bristol. Other invited guests include representatives of contractors Jarvis, members of Sustrans,Whitchurch parish councillors, and a director of Bath-based cycle sales and rental business Avon Valley Cyclery.

Photo opportunity: Press are invited to attend the official opening of the Whitchurch Path on Wednesday 10 October, 11.30 am at the public open space at Craydon Grove, Stockwood, Bristol. Some of the guests will arrive by bicycle.

'''To Bristol''': [[Pensford Colliery]]
 '''To Radstock''':

''OS Reference ST626592''

== History ==

'''Clutton Station''' was opened on 3rd September 1873 by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_and_North_Somerset_Railway Bristol & North Somerset Railway]. Closed to passengers on 2nd November 1959 and goods on 15th June 1964.

The station site is currently (2005) in use by A.R.M. Contractors Ltd who are specialists in railway demolition, dismantling and construction. Amongst other things they supply sleepers to preserved railways. I'd like to thank the owner of A.R.M., Garry Turner, for his help and friendly enthusiasm during my visit. I can thoroughly recommend his company to anyone in the preservation movement who is looking for supplies. Email me for a phone number.

Photos taken during a downpour in July 2005. A HUGE thankyou to Nigel Callaghan for sending me copies of these pics after I lost them during a computer hardrive failure. His help is much appreciated. :)
