EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Bittaford Platform and Viaduct, taken in the 1920s. Transporting us to a bygone era, this image captures the essence of a small unstaffed station nestled in the picturesque county of Devon. Opened in 1907, Bittaford Platform was strategically located near the magnificent Bittaford Viaduct. This architectural marvel served as both a functional railway structure and an awe-inspiring sight for passengers passing through. The viaduct's grandeur is beautifully showcased in this photograph, standing tall against the backdrop of lush greenery. As we delve into the details of this snapshot from history, it becomes apparent that time has stood still at Bittaford Platform. The absence of bustling crowds and staff creates an atmosphere frozen in time – a moment captured forever within these frames. Sadly, like many other stations across Britain's rail network, Bittaford Platform met its demise when it closed its doors for good in 1959. However, thanks to photographs like these preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we can still appreciate and celebrate its significance today. Immerse yourself in nostalgia as you gaze upon this remarkable piece of history; let your imagination wander back to simpler times when steam trains chugged along these tracks and passengers marveled at the beauty surrounding them.
