Dauntsey Station, 1961
A serene view of Dauntsey Station taken in August 1961. The photograph captures the main station building on the Up platform and the waiting room opposite, as well as the small signal box sited beyond the foot and road bridges. For a small station Dauntsey had unusually long platforms which had been extended since the stations original construction in order to accommodate the longer main line trains that passed through.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the tranquil setting of Dauntsey Station in August 1961. The image showcases the main station building, standing proudly on the Up platform, while directly opposite lies the inviting waiting room. Beyond these structures, our eyes are drawn to a small signal box nestled peacefully amidst the foot and road bridges. Dauntsey Station, located in Wiltshire, exudes an air of serenity that is rarely found at such small railway stations. What sets it apart from others is its unusually long platforms which had been extended over time to accommodate the longer main line trains passing through this picturesque spot. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of an era when train travel was still imbued with a sense of romance and adventure. It invites us to imagine passengers eagerly awaiting their train's arrival or bidding farewell to loved ones against this idyllic backdrop. As we gaze upon this scene from yesteryears, we can't help but appreciate how much has changed since then. Yet, there's something timeless about Dauntsey Station - its charm remains intact even after six decades have passed. This print serves as a testament to not only the beauty of Dauntsey Station but also its historical significance within the realm of British railways. It allows us to connect with a bygone era and marvel at how infrastructure evolves while retaining its essence throughout generations.
