The Eardington Halt Railway Station, on the Severn Valley Railway, has had more than £28,000 invested in making it look like it did about 100 years ago.

After having its original platform dismantled in 1984, the last few slabs have just finished being laid in what has taken more than a year of work.

Bricks have been donated from the demolition of a bridge in a railway project near Bristol, and local company JSR Construction, based just a few hundred yards down the road, undertook the building work.
