EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into the past at Limpley Stoke Station in Wiltshire. Nestled on the Somerset-Wiltshire border, this historic station opened its doors to passengers in 1857 and sadly closed down in 1966. The image showcases the graceful curve of the railway track as it winds through picturesque countryside, leading our eyes towards the empty platforms. The atmosphere is serene, with no bustling crowds or trains in sight. Instead, we are left to appreciate the tranquility of this once-thriving transportation hub frozen in time. The absence of people allows us to imagine what life was like during those years when steam engines ruled these tracks. Notably, two camping coaches were introduced near Limpley Stoke Station between 1956 and 1957. These charming accommodations provided an alternative way for travelers to experience nature's beauty while still being close to modern conveniences. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print from STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It serves as a reminder that even though progress may bring changes and closures over time, there will always be remnants left behind that tell stories worth preserving.
