History

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 was closed on 29th November 1965 although a private siding remained in use, serving an oil distribution company, until 1985.
