Clutton Station looking up towards Bristol in around 1915. Staff pose for the photographer. This picture is prior to the construction of the parcels shed. The crossing loop was installed with the improvements in 1895, along with the Type 5 signal box. The point rodding is under the cover in the middle of the track. Oil lamps can be seen. |

The well known photograph of Clutton Station looking down. The station masters house can be seen peeking around the station building. Some of the staff can be seen. A rake of wagons can be seen standing in the down sidings. The down starter, and down main to siding starter can be seen. Note the inside keyed track on the up line (track on the right). |

A view from the signal box looking down with a large prairie passing on down empties. This picture taken in the early 60s shows the final down starter, with a ground disc at its foot. There are some wooden bodied wagons in there, but the majority are steel 16 tonners. |

A rather poor photograph looking up from the down platform, after closure to passengers. The poles are for hanging oil lamps from. The running in station name boards have been removed. |

The station master's house in 1957, by which time the last station
master had retired, and the house was used by the railway for any
employee. The tenant at the time was a keen gardener.
The hedge today has gown up considerably, and the house considerably extended this way. Apparently the apple tree fell down a long time before. The photo was taken from the bridge. Click on the picture for a less compressed version. (picture courtesy of M. Fargher collection) |
