Excuse me have you bought a ticket madam no!

This outhouse fronts the ancient pier at Aust that runs / collapses! into the Severn Estuary, okay so it's a little neglected. ;o) No ferry passengers have filed past this toll booth / shop since the 7th of September 1966, the day b4 the Queen opened the First Severn Crossing.

There's been ferries crossing the Severn Estuary for centuries long b4 the incredibly long bridges could be built. This car ferry station terminated passengers at Bleachley avoiding a 60 mile detour via Gloucester, & it was essential to locals, & travellers alike. Tom Jones, & the Beatles were just a few of the famous celebrities which used this crossing. Bob Dylan even had a photo shoot here while touring the UK.

This subject / upload will be of particular interest to t&b Rob, & TYM you know who you are. :o)

I'm really in the mood for some music now, & want to link a favourite song ... garbage stupid girl ... huh how could you possibly know that !! so you're a mind reader too.
