Adjacent to Guinea Street: the Docks railway branch line from nearby Temple Meads Station used to emerge here and run across the small swing bridge (extant) over Bathurst Basin and along the Floating Harbour. Only the sunken lines remain (in places), the freight trains having ceased long ago. Although sealed at both ends, the tunnel still exists beneath St Mary Redcliffe churchyard, and has been used in the past for storage. (Now that some of Dr Beeching's mainline rail closures are being reversed, who knows whether the tunnel might re-open at some time.)
