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:
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of the attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These things are not done away with, it is needless to say, but numerous scapegoats are made of the less politically powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage awakened.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
