Railway canopy, former Somerset Railway
Rescued goods platform canopy, re-sited in St John's car park and sheltering a farmers' market today.
The service between Glastonbury and Highbridge began in 1854 following the closure of the bankrupt canal. In 1862 it became the Somerset and Dorset Railway, extending to Burnham, Cole and Wells and eventually to Bath. It closed in 1966 under Dr Beeching's axe.
The Western relief road now follows part of the railway line route.

Entrance to the Daisy Centre
An angelic healing retreat. Glastonbury appears to have a concentration of establishments of this genre.

A slice taken out
A corrugated shed, somewhat out of place in the more modern surrounds of the car park, with an odd angle to its dimensions. However, the side of it look rather different - see

Looking down on the changing face of the town
St John's tower in the background can remember when this car park was a busy market. However, the railway canopy is an interloper from the old station a couple of miles to the west. The original line closed after Dr Beeching wielded his axe but the canopy of the steamy goods station was relocated here in 1984.

A mixture of styles and patterns
The side of a corrugated shed has a different form: among the brick and wood is a strikingly painted door. See
