These views from our Taunton reporter - many thanks Robert

A new vista opens up albeit temporarily. The view on the 27th May2016 Copyright Roberl Lindley

This view shows the new concrete pillars of the road bridge ( due to be installed in September) and if you look closely behind them, you can see the old railway bridge girders. It is interesting to note that behind those gates used to be a substantial railway house in the gap between the goods loop and the engine shed which I understand was the Station Masters house, but this was demolished in the early 70"s 27th May Copyright Robert Lindley
