Brown plaque № 42658

This plaque commemorates the Great Western Railway ticket office (accessed from the small window below) at the former Miners Arms public house, which opened in 1927 to serve Farrington Gurney halt on the Radstock to Bristol branch line. The halt served a local coal mining population of some 700 people and the ticket office issued approximately 5,500 tickets annually. Passenger services ceased in November 1959 and the line was finally closed in 1968, the railway track and bridge removed and the cutting infilled.
