The route of the Clifton Rocks Railway, a long disused funicular railway located entirely in a tunnel between the Clifton and Hotwells areas of Bristol that is currently being restored by volunteers.<br>
This photograph was taken from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the bottom station in Hotwells is the grand facade at the end of the row of buildings. The top station in Clfiton is behind the trees in the top left of the picture, to the left of the white-filled arched facade.<br>
The road directly outside the bottom station is the very busy A4 Portway, the main road between the M5 motorway and Bristol City Centre (background, right and centre) - this photograph was taken about mid-morning on a Saturday. As part of the restoration, a new footbridge from the first floor of the bottom station and the "Zig-Zag" footpath over the road, possibly also linking to the currently derelict landing stages in the river.
