EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1920s with this print of Wantage Road Station in Oxfordshire. The image beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the bustling railway station and its well-maintained track and platforms. Wantage Road Station, located in the charming village of Grove just north of Wantage, first opened its doors to passengers in 1846. For nearly a century, it served as a vital transportation hub for both people and goods. However, as progress marched on, the station eventually closed its doors to passengers in 1964 and ceased all goods traffic the following year. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can admire the impressive architecture of Wantage Road Station's bridge spanning over the tracks. Its sturdy construction stands as a testament to engineering craftsmanship from days gone by. The platforms are alive with activity; travelers eagerly await their trains while porters scurry about attending to luggage and parcels. This photograph is not only an exquisite piece of history but also serves as a reminder of how our world has evolved over time. It allows us to reflect on an era when train travel was at its peak and stations like Wantage Road were thriving centers connecting communities across Oxfordshire.
