To extend the railway from Clevedon to Portishead, it was necessary for the line to cross the busy Clevedon Triangle and to squeeze between the small River Land Yeo and the Constitutional Club. At this spot there was also a junction with Station Road and the GWR terminus station was very close. All of this made for a complex 3-gated crossing and the need for a man to walk in front of the train carrying a red and a green flag. Trains were limited to 4 mph.

Also in the way of the extension were houses in Lower Queens Road. So the railway bought numbers 18 and 20 Lower Queens Road, using number 18 as a booking office and demolished number 20 to enable the extension to be built. The 1903 Ordnance Survey map clearly shows the situation before the extension.
