EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, specifically Highworth Station in 1960. The image showcases an enchanting view of this historic station nestled in the picturesque county of Wiltshire. It is worth noting that during this period, Highworth Station was exclusively accessible to railway employees commuting to Swindon Works. With its doors first opening in 1883, Highworth Station had served as a vital transportation hub for passengers until 1953 when it ceased operating for public use. However, even after its closure to passengers, the station continued functioning until its ultimate demise in 1962. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this once-thriving railway junction. The quaint architecture and charming signal tower evoke a sense of nostalgia and transport us back to an era where steam locomotives were still prevalent on our rail networks. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the hustle and bustle that would have filled these platforms decades ago. Passengers eagerly awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones; workers diligently making their way towards Swindon Works – all contributing to the vibrant tapestry woven within these walls. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich railway heritage and invites us into a world long gone but forever preserved through images like these at STEAM Museum of the GWR.
