Railway canopy, former Somerset Railway

Rescued goods platform canopy, re-sited in St John's car park and sheltering a farmers' market today.
The service between Glastonbury and Highbridge began in 1854 following the closure of the bankrupt canal. In 1862 it became the Somerset and Dorset Railway, extending to Burnham, Cole and Wells and eventually to Bath. In 1962 it fell under Dr Beeching's axe.
The Western relief road now follows part of the railway line route.
