EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a significant moment in history - January 28th, 1970. The image showcases the grand staircase that leads to the underpass at Swindon Station, as well as the main entrance of this bustling transportation hub. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, capturing an architectural gem that no longer exists today. In 1972, Swindon's original station building was demolished and replaced with a more modern structure along with an adjacent office block. This transformation marked a shift towards contemporary design and functionality. Looking closely at this snapshot frozen in time, one can't help but be drawn into its charm and nostalgia. The intricate details of the staircase railing and ornate pillars evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication that were characteristic of railway stations during this period. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also holds historical significance for those familiar with Swindon Junction in Wiltshire. It offers glimpses into daily life at the station during the early 1970s when train travel was still widely popular. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved within these walls, it reminds us how our surroundings continually evolve over time while leaving behind traces of their past glory.
