Path Through Former Railway
In the 19th century a path passed under the railway at this point, joining the town with Norton Hill Farm. Later the alignment became Pit Road and was the main access to Norton Hill Colliery (No. 1). Today the railway and colliery have gone but a spoil heap remains, merging with the railway embankment, just visible on the left.

2010 : Silver Street, Midsomer Norton
A lady struggles up the long steep hill from the shops in Midsomer Norton.
The fields on the far side of the valley make Midsomer Norton appear smaller than it is, stretching east to west along the valley it joins seamlessly with Radstock to the east and is almost in contact with Paulton to the north.

Cycle track descending to Silver Street, Midsomer Norton
The track leaves the trackbed of the former railway to cross the road just below Midsomer Norton South station. The railway line crossed the road on a bridge, now removed. Image shows the view from the other side.

Missing Railway Bridge
There was a railway bridge here from 1874 to 1966 when the railway closed along with the adjacent Midsomer Norton South station. The station has been restored, but it is unlikely that the bridge will be reinstated. As can be seen, the old track on the other side of the road has been turned into a foot and cycle path. It continues into Radstock, which was the next station.
