EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Cirencester Town Station forecourt, circa 1960. Nestled in the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, this view showcases the charm and simplicity of a bygone era. Standing proudly amidst the station is a railbus (W799XX), its sleek design hinting at the modernity of transportation during that period. Cirencester Town Station opened its doors to eager travelers in May 1841, becoming an integral part of local history for over a century. Sadly, it bid farewell to passengers in April 1964, leaving behind cherished memories and stories within its walls. The original station building itself holds significant cultural value as it was granted Grade II listed status in 1971. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where train travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about embracing journeys filled with anticipation and wonder. The early 1960s or perhaps even late 1950s ambiance captured here evokes nostalgia for simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. Let this image serve as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and how these stations were once bustling hubs connecting communities across Britain. It stands as a testament to the importance of preserving our past while celebrating progress on our journey towards an exciting future.
