Description
Bristol Temple Meads opened in 1840, becoming the western terminus of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway. Two major rebuilds took place in 1870 and again in 1930, but its spectacular arched roof and huge clock remain to this day. During World War II, the station took some hits from German bombs in the Bristol Blitz, but luckily survived pretty much intact. The largest rail hub in the west of England, connecting to London, Wales, the North, and down to Devon and Cornwall.
