Tauntons New Bridge
Robert Lindley 

Hi Keith,
Here are some photos taken today of the new bridge in Taunton.
The first shows the general view looking towards the station and showing the refurbished original side of the bridge. The next shows how the new bridge is resting on a new concrete abutment behind the original. It has been raised slightly and the new brickwork is on top of the original. The third shot shows how the original outside girders hide the new pre-stressed concrete girders that form the new bridge deck.
Cheers
Rob                                                     Many thanks Robert

Somerton station closed to passengers on the 10th September 1962 and to goods on the 8th July 1964. Here it is some twenty years after closure to passengers. The siding still remains as does the signalbox. The station building remained in use for some time - the toilet being available for use by the signalman, the rest of the building being in use by other concerns. Copyright John Cornelius
