EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to Long Marston Station, Warwickshire. The image showcases a nostalgic view of the station, with its charming signal box and level crossing gates prominently featured. It was captured on October 7th, 1972, several years after the station had sadly closed its doors in 1966. The photograph transports us to an era when steam locomotives were still a common sight and train travel held a certain romantic allure. The disused station stands as a testament to changing times and evolving transportation methods. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the distant chugging of trains and imagine passengers bustling about on their journeys. Long Marston Station's picturesque setting amidst the scenic countryside of Warwickshire adds to its appeal. One can envision travelers disembarking here to explore Stratford-upon-Avon or simply soak up the tranquility that rural England has to offer. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich railway heritage and invites contemplation on how these once-thriving stations have become relics of bygone days. It sparks curiosity about what stories might be hidden within those walls and leaves us yearning for more glimpses into our past through such evocative images preserved at STEAM Museum.
