The classic frontage of Bristol Temple Meads station, a familiar sight to many a traveller since it was opened in the 1870s. The earlier station building, opened by the Great Western in 1840, is the structure to the left, now used as a car park! The later through platforms, and the ones that are in use today, is seen to the right of the image. Until World war II there was a spire atop the tower above the clock face.
