EDITORS COMMENTS
Journey back in time to the 1950s with this print of Berkeley Road Station in Gloucestershire. The image beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the station building and a locomotive gracefully departing from the platform. Originally known as Dursley and Berkeley when it first opened its doors in July 1844, this historic railway hub underwent a name change just a year later, becoming Berkeley Road. Serving as an important transportation link for locals and travelers alike, the station witnessed countless comings and goings throughout its existence. Sadly, like many other stations during that period, passenger traffic ceased in January 1965, leading to the eventual demolition of this once bustling landmark. However, through photographs such as this one preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we can still admire its grandeur and reminisce about days gone by. In addition to capturing the main elements of the scene – including the station building itself – this photograph also offers glimpses into everyday life at Berkeley Road Station. A porter trolley stands ready for use while a bicycle leans against a nearby wall; reminders of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure smooth operations. This print is not only a visual delight but also serves as an invaluable historical artifact that transports us back to an era defined by rail travel's charm and significance.
