Baby

The body of a newly-born female child was found enclosed in a cardboard box at the parcels' office at the GWR Taunton Station.

It had been received for delivery from Bristol on 5 September 1918 in the normal way and was addressed to a woman at an optician in North Street, Taunton but was refused by the person there. After delivery was attempted on 6 September 1918 it was returned to Taunton Station where it was set to one side in the office.
