Sad to see such a beautiful structure coming down
In this day & age of overcrowded roads , the willful destruction of railway viaducts is utterly disgusting.

can you imagine Bristol without the M32 now though? Let's be realistic now...
Legalised vandalism. Makes me sick TBH.
I was sad to see this iconic landmark demolished. But we have the M32...
The LMS viaduct on the line through Bristol to Bath Green Park and the S&DJR demolished around 1970 for the M32 motorway to pass through. Serves the grinning b@57@Γd who pressed the buttons right that one and a half arches remained. And for quite some time after apparently.

You sure that wasn't the Stapleton Road viaduct off the Severn Beach line?
