At the Ashcombe Road junction. Colonel Stephens Way follows the trackbed of the Weston, Clevedon & Portishead Light Railway (WC&PR), an independent light railway linking three North Somerset coastal towns. First planned in 1844, it opened in 1897 and closed in 1940. Colonel Holman Fred Stephens took over the running of the WC&PR in 1911. He was known as the Light Railway King because he ran a number of similar railways, and he got the costs under control. He managed the railway mostly from his base in Tonbridge, Kent. After his death in 1931 the railway declined.
