EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blast from the Past: Melksham Station in the 1950s Step back in time with this photograph of Melksham Station in Wiltshire, taken in the 1950s. The image showcases the charm and character of a bygone era, as steam trains continued to dominate the railway landscape. Melksham Station, a historic railway hub, first opened its doors to passengers in 1848. The station buildings, with their red-brick facades and ornate detailing, exude a sense of grandeur and importance. The platforms, bustling with activity, are a testament to the vital role the station played in connecting communities and facilitating travel. The covered footbridge in the background adds an intriguing element to the scene. Its elegant design, with its arched roof and wrought-iron structure, protected passengers from the elements as they made their way between platforms. The bridge also served as a symbol of the station's commitment to ensuring the comfort and convenience of its passengers. Sadly, Melksham Station closed its doors to passengers in 1966, a victim of the changing times and the rise of road transport. However, the station was resurrected in 1985, and today, it continues to serve the community, offering a glimpse into the rich railway history of Wiltshire.
