EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to Bampton Station in Devon, circa 1900. The image beautifully captures a moment in time, showcasing a bustling platform filled with passengers eagerly awaiting their train. Bampton Station, which opened its doors in August 1884 as part of the Exe Valley branch line, served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily lives of those who relied on this railway connection to explore new horizons or reunite with loved ones. The station's architecture exudes Victorian charm, with its quaint wooden structure and ornate detailing. As we peer closer at the photograph, we notice men donning top hats and waistcoats alongside women adorned in elegant dresses and bonnets – a true reflection of fashion during that era. Although Bampton Station ceased operations in October 1963, this image serves as an enduring testament to its historical significance within the community. It reminds us of how railways revolutionized travel and connected people across vast distances. As we immerse ourselves in this fascinating visual narrative, it becomes clear that this print is not merely an artifact but rather a window into our collective past – an invitation to reflect upon how far we have come while cherishing our rich heritage.
