How can a town the size and importance of Chard have no railway? This was the station building, built in 1866, the year the Taunton-Chard line opened - full architectural details at http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/details.asp?prn=58207 . The station is now used by an international shipping company who seem happy for those interested in the building to have a look around.
