EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to Purton Station, Wiltshire, in 1961. The image beautifully captures a through view of this historic station on a sunny day, May 25th to be exact. Standing proudly is the station building itself, boasting a design that epitomizes the architectural style of the 20th century. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that Purton Station was not just any ordinary stop along the railway line. Opening its doors in 1841 and serving as an important transportation hub for over a century, this station holds immense historical significance. However, it is bittersweet to learn that its story came to an end in 1964 when it closed its operations. The photograph showcases more than just the main building; it also offers us a glimpse of the goods shed adjacent to it. This sheds light on how vital Purton Station was for both passenger travel and freight transport during those times. Through this evocative image captured by an unknown photographer all those years ago, we are reminded of our rich railway heritage and how these stations were once bustling centers connecting people and places across Britain. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though Purton Station may no longer exist today, its legacy lives on through photographs like these preserved at STEAM Museum for generations to come.
