EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1966, capturing a glimpse of Cheltenham Spa (Lansdown) station in Gloucestershire. The facade of this historic station stands proudly, showcasing its architectural grandeur and timeless charm. Originally opened in 1840, this railway hub played a significant role in connecting Cheltenham with the rest of the country. Renamed as Cheltenham Spa (Lansdown) in 1925, it holds a rich history within its walls. Today, it remains as the sole surviving station in Cheltenham. The image transports us to an era when steam locomotives were still prevalent and bustling platforms echoed with excitement and anticipation. Passengers would have embarked on their journeys from this very spot, embarking on adventures or returning home after memorable experiences. Looking closely at the photograph, one can almost imagine hearing the rhythmic chugging of trains pulling into and out of the station. The hustle and bustle that once filled these platforms are now replaced by nostalgic memories etched into time. Preserved through this remarkable photo print, we are reminded of how railways have shaped our communities over centuries – not only as modes of transportation but also as symbols of progress and connection. This snapshot serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our desire to explore beyond horizons. As we gaze upon this piece from STEAM Museum's collection, we are transported back to an era where train travel was more than just
