1960 Gloucestershire Station Bourton On The Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire, circa 1960. The picturesque scene showcases the idyllic beauty of this quaint English countryside town. In the foreground, we see a glimpse of what used to be Bourton-on-the-Water station, which opened its doors in 1881 and underwent a remarkable transformation by GWR Architect P. E. Culverhouse in 1936. This architectural gem served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike until its closure in 1964. The station building itself was an impressive structure that exuded elegance and character. Sadly, it met its demise in 2011 when it was demolished, leaving behind only memories and photographs like this one. Looking beyond the station, our eyes are treated to a breathtaking view of Bourton on the Water's enchanting landscape. The river Windrush meanders through the village center, flanked by charming stone bridges adorned with vibrant flowers. Surrounded by lush greenery and traditional Cotswold buildings with their distinctive honey-colored facades, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the timeless appeal of Bourton on the Water during that era. As we gaze upon this evocative image from STEAM Museum of GWR's collection, we can't help but feel transported back to simpler times when life moved at a slower pace amidst such serene surroundings.
