Green Park Station


Green Park Station Bath, now a Sainsburys car park, I went to Green Park School so the station was a magnet for schoolboys.
I can just remember when I was 4 being taken to the window of our old flat in Oldfield Park to watch the Circus train unloading in the sidings.
In those days the train was the cheapest and most efficient was to move a circus
And Billy Smarts Circus had its own train in the 50s, How thing have changed.
