Disused railway line, King's Weston Lane, Avonmouth
Still in situ but no longer used, the line used to serve the chemical complex that takes up most of the square. The main company here, Rhodia, is to cease production here in 2008 ending a production history that began in 1917.

St Andrew's Road, Avonmouth
Kings Weston Lane turns right off the A403. A lot of traffic spends a lot of time here, especially those turning right. Reeds indicate the presence of water close to the road on the left, and indeed it's only three metres from the pavement to the rhyne shown further north in Image

Level crossing gates, King's Weston Lane, Avonmouth
The gates are padlocked shut and it obviously some time since a train passed through them. The lines beyond the gates have been lifted but remain behind the viewpoint as in this image Image

Gantries, St Andrew's Road station, Avonmouth
The station is primarily used for the loading of coal into railway wagons. The higher gantries provide for lighting of the line where trains are formed up. The lower gantry in the foreground carries signals.

The railway at St Andrew's Road railway station, Avonmouth
This is a view north from the footbridge over the line in the direction of Severn Beach where the line terminates. This part of the line is used primarily with the transport of coal. A locomotive is ticking over here and there are a number of coal wagons standing empty.

Disused building, King's Weston Lane, Avonmouth
This area is in a state of transition. The nearby chemical works is soon to close and production has already been scaled back. It seems possible that the building shown here was a gas meter house where incoming gas to fuel the manufacturing processes was metered or governed.
