A bonus of the axe
Looking north from Whitchurch along the route of the old Bristol and North Somerset railway line, it was sometwhat good fortune for some residents when the Beeching Axe arrived. This part of the track is to the rear of Whitchurch primary school, but beyond the fencing the land has become an extension of the gardens of homes along Dene Road.
