EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blast from the Past: Cheltenham Racecourse Station, Gloucestershire, c.1960 Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Cheltenham Racecourse Station in Gloucestershire, captured around 1960. The station, which opened in 1912, was a vital hub during the famous Gold Cup race days. Nestled amidst the verdant hills of the Cotswolds, Cheltenham Racecourse has been a popular destination for horse racing enthusiasts since the 18th century. The station, built specifically to serve the racecourse, was a temporary terminus, only open on race days. The photograph showcases the station's rustic charm, with its quaint wooden signage and the steam engine puffing away in the background. The platform, adorned with wooden benches, is bustling with activity as passengers disembark, their faces etched with excitement and anticipation. The Gold Cup, one of the most prestigious races in the National Hunt racing calendar, has been held at Cheltenham Racecourse since 1819. The race, which takes place every March, attracts thousands of spectators from across the globe. Sadly, the station closed its doors in 1976, a victim of the declining rail network. However, the station was not forgotten. Preservation societies rallied to save the station, and it reopened in 2003 as the southern terminus for the Gloucestershire Warwickshire heritage Railway. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when steam trains ruled the rails, and the thrill of the Gold Cup race was a shared experience for all who made the journey to Cheltenham Racecourse.
