Railway enthusiasts in Bradford on Avon are raising money to restore the footbridge canopy at the town's rail station.
The group of enthusiasts was joined by representatives from Great Western Railway, Bradford on Avon Town Council, and Lord Richard Faulkner in support of the project.
The station was built in 1848 and was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
It is one of the few near-complete Brunel stations left in the country.
The railway station even inspired a Metcalfe Models country station kit.
Originally, the station was simply called "Bradford", but the name was changed in 1899 to avoid confusion with Bradford in West Yorkshire.
This means that it is one of the few places where the town's name appears spelt with a hyphen.
For more information on the restoration effort, people can contact the group working on the project via email at footbridgecanopy@gmail.com.
