DAVE'S MODEL OF LAWRENCE HILL STATION

THIS YEAR IS THE 160TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OPENING OF LAWRENCE HILL STATION. I STARTED TRAINSPOTTING AT LAWRENCE HILL STATION IN THE EARLY 1960s. THE MODEL IS BASED ROUGHLY ON HOW THE STATION LOOKED IN 1965. I STARTED BUILDING IT IN THE EARLY 1990s AND OVER THE YEARS IT HAS BEEN EXHIBITED AT BARTON HILL HISTORY GROUP EXHIBITIONS, ST LUKE'S MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION AND RECENTLY IT SPENT THREE MONTHS ON DISPLAY AT BRISTOL RECORD OFFICE. IT HAS GIVEN ME GREAT PLEASURE OVER THE YEARS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PICTURES.

Walking home from school, past Shiners Autos, past Lawrence Hill Station…nearly home,
- through the Wessex (old bomb site) into Newtown. Hobbs Buildings…trains running along side our house - magic. Cheers Dave

Yes I remember the Wessex Coach Station (as you say it was just a bomb site). Regards Dave.
