The Site Today
The site of the station is now occupied by the Town Hall. A short section of landscaped cutting and some of the retaining walls for the railway can be seen in the Queen's Gardens, no further trace of the station's existence remains. A plaque has been fixed to the retaining wall of the garden marking its significance.

Famous quotes containing the words site and/or today:
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
