Bristol Railway Mission Hall opened in 1896 as the Railway Gospel Temperance Hall. Prior to the opening meetings had been held in an upper room of Bristol Temple Meads Joint station from around 1880. The GWR provided the land for the hall in Pyle Hill Goods Yard, as they had the room in the Joint Station. The most famous leader of the Bristol branch of the Railway Mission was Miss Emma Saunders of Clifton. She had been involved with the Mission from 1880 until 1924. She is commemorated on a marble tablet at the station and was known as 'The Railwaymen's Friend' or 'The Lady with the Basket'. The latter after the basket in which she used to carry small gifts and leaflets to give to upto 2,000 men each month across railway installations in the Bristol area..

Certainly remember a pub there. I think it may have been the mid 1970s this area was demolished.

Bath Bridge. Around 1958 I was travelling in a coach towards Bristol. It would have been around 6pm. As our coach started to cross the bridge the Police Officer on point duty suddenly left his post and many other bystanders ran to the swinging bars of the safety railing marking the diving point of a car with 'L' driver and instructor inside. All traffic had stopped and brave souls were leaping into the River Avon. Sadly all to no avail.

Bath Road Bridge, centre of picture, was originally built (in cast-iron) 1806-09 and destroyed in March 1855 when it was hit by a Cardiff steam barge returning from the Bristol & Exeter railway wharf after delivering a weekly cargo of coke. Two men were killed (drowned) in the tragedy. Today there are of course two road bridges here. The one nearer to TM Station is on the site of the former bridge.
