EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1937, capturing a timeless scene at Banbury Station in Oxfordshire. The focal point of this image is locomotive No 5947, affectionately known as Saint Benets Hall, proudly standing on the platform. Its majestic presence evokes a sense of power and nostalgia that only vintage steam engines can evoke. Banbury Station itself has a rich history, having opened its doors to passengers in 1850. However, it underwent a complete transformation in 1958 when it was fully rebuilt. The timber overall roof seen in this photograph remained intact until 1953 before making way for modernization. The atmosphere surrounding the station is palpable through this snapshot from the past. A quaint railway lamp illuminates the platform with its warm glow while passengers eagerly await their trains or bid farewell to loved ones. It's easy to imagine the hustle and bustle that must have filled these very grounds during those bustling years. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to an era where train travel reigned supreme and Banbury Station served as a vital hub connecting people across Oxfordshire and beyond. This print serves as both a testament to our industrial heritage and an invitation to explore our shared past through visual storytelling.
