EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Banbury Station in Oxfordshire during the 1950s. The image offers a nostalgic glimpse down the platform, framed by the original overall roof that once adorned this bustling transportation hub. Banbury Station has a rich history, dating back to its opening in 1850. However, it underwent a complete transformation in 1958 when it was fully rebuilt. The timber overall roof depicted in this photograph remained intact until 1953, making this snapshot an invaluable piece of railway heritage. The scene exudes an air of timeless elegance and charm as passengers mill about on the platform, awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. The architecture of the station is strikingly beautiful; its distinctive overall roof adds character and grandeur to the space.
