EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s with this print of Wootton Bassett Junction Station in Wiltshire. The image offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past, showcasing the station's nameboard proudly displaying 'Wootton Basset Junction. ' As you gaze upon the photograph, you can almost hear the echoes of bustling trains and excited passengers. This historic station has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1841. It replaced Wootton Bassett Road station and quickly became an essential transportation hub for the area. In 1903, it was renamed Wootton Basset Junction, solidifying its importance as a vital junction point for railway connections. The photo captures not only the grandeur of the station but also features tracks that were once filled with locomotives ready to whisk travelers away on their journeys. A covered footbridge stands tall, providing shelter and convenience for those crossing from one platform to another. Sadly, like many other stations during that era, Wootton Bassett Junction closed its doors in 1965. However, through this remarkable print from STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we are granted a window into its vibrant past. Transport yourself back in time as you admire this stunning piece of history – an ode to both Wiltshire's heritage and Britain's golden age of railways.
