EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of the 1930s, capturing a timeless moment at Bishops Lydeard Station in Somerset. The image showcases the bustling activity of this historic station, with its charming buildings and platforms teeming with trains coming and going. Having opened its doors in March 1862, Bishops Lydeard Station served as a vital transportation hub until its closure in January 1971. However, it was not destined to fade into obscurity. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, this remarkable station found new life as the terminus for the West Somerset Railway heritage line. Fast forward to present times, and we witness another exciting chapter unfold for Bishops Lydeard Station. In a significant development during 2019, this beloved landmark was finally reconnected to the national rail network when GWR agreed to Saturday services from Taunton during summer months. This newfound connection brought joy and convenience to locals and visitors alike. Adding even more charm to this historical site is the repurposed goods shed at Bishops Lydeard. Now transformed into a visitor centre and museum, it stands as a testament to preserving our rich railway heritage. Through this evocative photo print, we are transported back in time while also celebrating how Bishops Lydeard Station continues to thrive as an important part of both local history and modern-day transportation networks.
