Engine Shed forms part of the original Temple Meads train station, opened in 1841 as the terminus of the Great Western Railway, and thought to be one of the oldest surviving terminuses in the world. The building was fronted by offices which were home to Brunel’s boardroom, drawing offices, offices of Great Western Railway and Station Master’s quarters.
