EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Purton Station, Wiltshire, in the year 1952. The image beautifully captures a nostalgic view of this Victorian station building, which stood proudly as a testament to an era long gone. As we gaze upon the photograph, our eyes are drawn towards Swindon, beckoning us with its allure. The station itself holds a rich history that dates back to its opening in 1841. For over a century, it served as a vital transportation hub for locals and travelers alike. However, fate had different plans for Purton Station as it closed its doors forever in 1964. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the echoes of bustling activity that once filled these platforms – passengers eagerly awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. The nameboard stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the station building; an emblematic symbol of identity and destination. As we delve into this remarkable piece from STEAM Museum of the GWR (Great Western Railway), let us take a moment to appreciate not only the beauty captured within this frame but also reflect on how much has changed since those days. This photograph serves as both a reminder and tribute to an important chapter in Wiltshire's history - one that continues to captivate our imagination even today.
