EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the 1960s, Kemble station in Gloucestershire stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills of the Golden Valley. The scene captures the essence of a bygone era, as the station, with its red-brick buildings and steam trains, prepares to welcome passengers heading towards Stroud. Kemble station, a picturesque exchange station that first opened its doors to the public in the 1870s-1880s, boasts a rich history that spans over a century and a half. Originally built as an exchange station in May 1845, it was not until several decades later that it became a public station. The station's architecture is a testament to the grandeur of the Victorian era, with its red-brick buildings and ornate details. The limestone bridge south of the station, a Grade II listed structure, adds to the station's charm and historical significance. The bridge, along with the station and the water tank, were granted listed status in 1986. This recognition highlights the importance of preserving the station's heritage for future generations. The steam trains that once dominated the railway landscape have long since been replaced by modern diesel and electric trains. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into a time when the roar of the steam engine was a familiar sound in the countryside. The Golden Valley Line, which once connected Kemble station to Stroud and beyond, played a vital role in the transportation of goods and people during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As you gaze at this photograph, take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of Kemble station. Its red-brick buildings, the graceful limestone bridge, and the rolling hills of the Golden Valley all combine to create a scene that is as timeless as it is captivating.
