EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the past at Badminton Station in Gloucestershire. The station had recently opened its doors to traffic in July of that year, and this image showcases its pristine state shortly after its inauguration. The photograph captures the essence of an era long gone, with a charming station building standing proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery. Its architectural details speak volumes about the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during that period. It is evident that this was once a bustling hub for travelers seeking adventure or simply commuting through Gloucestershire. However, as we delve deeper into history, we learn that Badminton Station's fate took a different turn. Sadly, it closed its doors for good in June 1968, leaving behind only memories and remnants of what used to be. Today, all that remains is a derelict structure frozen in time - a haunting reminder of days gone by. This print serves as both an homage to the rich heritage of railway transportation and as a poignant reminder of how things change over time. It allows us to reflect on our own connection with history while appreciating the beauty found within abandoned places like Badminton Station.
