This is across the river from Bristol, and the situation is essentially the same, with two small twists. First, there;s a sort of suburban community southeast of the historical siding/station (the line has been taken up since), but a trip back through the topos show the two have no connection. Second, it would be awfully nice if the articles related what the sources actually said. In this case, it turns out that Horlicks is not really "a type of hot drink": it is "a brand of malted milk", which is also what the article on the foodstuff says as well. In this case it makes no real difference, but really, we do have some obligation towards accuracy. In any case, it's just another non-notable siding/station.

- delete per nom. @ Mangoe: - Horlicks is typically drunk hot, it's also British slang for "a total mess" (because it sounds like " bollocks"), which I guess is appropriate here. It's notable that even the book source just attributes this statement to the vice-president of the Chicago, St. Paul, and Milwaukee railway, who may well not be that authoritative a source? It also highlights that this may not have been a town at all, but instead simply a railway station, otherwise why ask that particular person about it.? FOARP ( talk) 11:16, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
