EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Bathampton Station, Somerset, taken in the 1960s. Transport yourself to an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and bustling stations were at the heart of communities. The image showcases the station's platforms and bridges, providing a glimpse into its architectural charm. Bathampton Station opened its doors to eager travelers in February 1857, serving as a vital link between Bath and other destinations. For over a century, it stood as a symbol of progress and connectivity for locals and visitors alike. However, like many railway stations during that period of transition, its closure came abruptly in October 1966. This photograph not only captures the physical elements of Bathampton Station but also evokes nostalgia for an era long gone. It invites us to imagine passengers eagerly awaiting their trains on those very platforms or bidding farewell to loved ones before embarking on new adventures. Preserved by STEAM Museum of the GWR (Great Western Railway), this print is more than just an image; it is a portal into history itself. Whether you are passionate about railways or simply intrigued by times past, this piece offers a unique window into Somerset's transportation heritage.
