This breathtaking aerial photograph, EAC297008 from the Historic England Archive, captures Temple Meads Railway Station in Bristol as it looked in 1975. The image offers a unique perspective of this historic railway station, with its intricate layout of platforms, tracks, and surrounding buildings. Temple Meads Railway Station, a Grade I listed building, has been a significant transport hub in the city of Bristol since its opening in 1840. The station's rich history is evident in the various architectural styles of its buildings, ranging from the elegant Victorian Gothic Revival architecture of the main station building to the more modernist structures of the post-war era.
