EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to Banbury Station in Oxfordshire, circa 1936. The image showcases a nostalgic view of the platforms nestled under the original overall roof that adorned this historic station. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that Banbury Station had already been an integral part of local transportation for nearly a century. Having opened its doors to passengers in 1850, Banbury Station underwent a complete reconstruction in 1958. However, what truly captures our attention is the timber overall roof depicted here—a charming architectural feature that remained intact until 1953. This magnificent structure not only sheltered travelers from inclement weather but also added character and charm to their railway experience. As we explore this photograph further, our eyes are drawn to various advertisements adorning the walls of the station structure. These vintage promotions offer glimpses into life during the 1930s—perhaps enticing passersby with products or services long forgotten by time. Additionally, scattered throughout this bustling scene are fire buckets—an essential safety measure during an era when steam locomotives were still prevalent. These humble yet vital objects serve as reminders of how railways diligently prioritized passenger well-being amidst their daily operations. In summary, this evocative print transports us back to a bygone era at Banbury Station—a place where history converged with modernity and where countless stories unfolded beneath its iconic overall roof.
