New Passage railway station (site), Gloucestershire
Opened in 1863 by the Bristol & South Wales Union Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, this station was at the landward end of the 500m long railway-carrying New Passage pier. Passengers from Bristol had ferry connections to Portskewett, for onward train connections to Cardiff etc. This station closed in 1886 at the same time as the pier, on the same day as the Severn railway tunnel opened.
View south east towards Cross Hands and Bristol. The station was just to the right of the hedge, somewhere near the parasol. To the left was a railway turntable, behind where the modern house now stands. The stub of the pier is immediately behind the camera position - see Image

Sea defences at New Passage
The houses at New Passage appear to be well protected from the threat of an angry river Severn. Rock armour is the lowest defence - boulders placed by the shoreline which will allow water to percolate through whilst, hopefully, preventing erosion of beach material. Above the path is a concrete revetment topped by a re-curved sea wall.

Once a busy spot, the former ferry service has been superseded not only by the Severn Rail Tunnel but by two road bridges linking England and Wales since the nineteenth century.
