A Walk Through Green Park Railway Station, Bath, England
Green Park station was opened in 1870 as the terminus of Midland Railway's Mangotsfield and Bath Branch Line.
Bath Green Park railway station in 1962
Originally named Queen Square station, it was built in an elegant style which blends well with the Georgian buildings around it and includes a vaulted glass roof in a single-span wrought iron arch structure.
The platform accommodation in the station was modest, having an arrival platform and a departure platform, with two sidings between them. The siding adjacent to the arrival platform was equipped with ground frame points to release an arriving train engine.
The station is on the north bank of the River Avon. The locomotive shed was about half a mile from the station to the north side of the main tracks. The goods yard was on the opposite side of the tracks from this.
The Midland Railway's Bath branch had opened in 1869, but the river Avon bridge and the new station were not ready, so for a year the terminus was at a temporary station to the west of the river.
Grade II listed building, Green Park Station has become an active retail and events space.
Run for many years by Envolve Partnership, a local sustainability enterprise, The Ethical Property Company PLC took over management in November 2008, and now manage all activity on the site, beyond the car park and the Sainsbury's supermarket, which is run by J Sainsbury PLC. The former booking hall is now Green Park Brasserie. The old station concourses are used as a covered market and events space, with a farmers' market, and other regular Saturday traders operating in the market square. Local events and performances are scheduled throughout the year as well, and have included performances for the Bath Fringe Festival. Green Park Station also includes office space in the converted vaults of the station's lower floor, now the base to several local charities and social businesses.

Royal Victoria Park Bath Somerset
Royal Victoria Park was laid out in 1829 becoming one of the earliest public parks in the country and possibly the first created through public subscription. The residents of Bath paid for the future protection and enhancement of this green space. Remarkable records show how the Park has remained relatively unchanged since its creation, making it an important example of the Victorian style. When officially opened by an eleven year old Princess Victoria, she was so impressed that she designated it the Royal Victoria Park, a unique honour for an urban park and it is now registered by English Heritage as a Park of National Historic Importance.

GREEN PARK STATION, BATH 1
A few weeks ago I was in Bath. Nearby was Green Park. It used to be a railway station operated by the Midland Railway. Following the extremely popular (!) Beeching Report of the early 1960's, the last passenger train ran out of there in 1966. The last goods train departed in 1971.
Green Park continues to be home to a Sainsbury's supermarket and a number of other shops and retail outlets. The former booking hall is now Green Park Brasserie. The old station building is used as a market hall, with some permanent stalls and boutiques and a farmers' market every Saturday. It occasionally acts as a venue for music and arts events and other performances and displays.
And.... it looks like this....

Bath, UK complete walking tour
The town center of Bath has a human scale with lowrise buildings and quiet streets lined with shops and galleries ideal for strolling, all contained in a relatively small area only about 1000 meters in one direction and 500 meters in the other. A nice place to start walking is the small Abbey Green, a peaceful courtyard with a large tree in the middle and historic old buildings all around. This courtyard is quite central. It's just one block over from the Bath Abbey and yet is easily missed because it's really not very conspicuous.
Bath Green Park S&D Model Railway
Bath Green Park station is a former railway station in Bath, Somerset, England. The station was also known as Bath Queen Square station.
Bath Green Park orignally started as the terminus of the Midland Railway however in 1874 an extension of the Somerset & Dorset joined the Midland Line half mile from the station and began a co-operation with the Midland Railway, thus creating important passenger and freight traffic between the North of England and the South Coast.
In this O gauge video which focuses on the S&D life on the Bath Green Park and Midford stations. Midford was a single plaftform station located on the S&D Bath extension, to the North of the station is Combe Down Tunnel (heading towards Bath) and South of the station is the signal Box and the Midford Valley Viaduct where the line becomes Double track (heading towards Wellow).
Midford Station and Bath Green Park closed to passenger traffic in 1966 following The Beeching Report (Beechings Axe) and closed to freight in 1971. During the 1980's the track where taken up.
