The Bristol and North Somerset Railway opened on September 3rd
1873 linking Bristol with Radstock where it joined the Radstock
Mineral Railway to Frome, forming a 24 mile through route. The line
was operated by the Great Western Railway.
The railway was built to Clutton in 1864. Sidings connected both
Greyfield and Fry's Bottom Collierys to the station. Passenger
services ceased in 1959 and the line closed in 1968.
