Abandoned Railway Station Site Berkeley Nr Sharpness

Last year I did a series of films on the station sites on the Gloucester to Bristol Railway, some still open, some just a memory. I also filmed at Sharpness docks, and whilst studying the map I was reminded that these two projects were linked by a railway, which also had a station on it, ‘Berkeley Station’. Not to be confused with ‘Berkeley Road Station’. I was told at Sharpness that an attempt was being made to uncover the remains and hopefully rebuild it. This film shows my visit to this forgotten relic.
Home to the adventurous subscriber. As well as films we have a bi-weekly Vlog to keep up to date on the previous and next week’s videos, and a chance for all to air their views on a variety of subjects, why not join in.
My passion has been walking, a while ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and walking does not come naturally any more, however the more I walk the easier it gets, for now anyway. I hope these videos will inspire others to keep going and hanging on in there. I try to cover variety of subjects, such as old abandoned railways, and canals. I love the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, with its rich history and I usually take my camera whenever we holiday in the southwest and Cornwall. The rugged coastal paths are a magnet for anyone who loves dramatic scenery. I live close to the Cotswolds Hills and have done quite a lot of walking around there, recently, following some of the lovely rivers. Hill walking on the Malvern’s is a challenge but worth the effort. I try not to let Parkinson’s get me down and take every opportunity to get out with my camera and film, I hope you enjoy watching.
