The municipal storage yard was once part of the East Somerset Railway, linking Shepton Mallet to Wells and Yatton. The old High Street station was just a short distance to the west. The line ran until Dr Beeching wielded his axe, and now it has been replaced by more uninspiring but functional areas.
