@archidave @KYPBristol Yes, given the angle and the rise I’d expect to have been able to catch the train straight to work by stepping onto a platform adjacent to my shower. The people in the office would probably object, mind.

@KYPBristol @CSharp520917 Yes; I’d’ve had to walk all the way to Hotwells Station, just past the Suspension Bridge, back in the day.

You can also see that the end of Hotwell Road, between Holy Trinity and Dowry Parade, used to be called Love Street, something I knew but hadn’t found on a map before.

Amazing early plan for the Port Railway and Pier. The tunnel under Clifton would have emerged not far from where I live today in Hotwells, by the looks of it. Via @KYPBristol’s Community Layer maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=b… pic.twitter.com/d0QPR2Ostm
