EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically around 1910, when Wantage Road Station in Oxfordshire was bustling with activity. The image captures a picturesque view of this quaint station from a bridge above, offering a unique perspective on its simple yet charming architecture and the railway track that stretches into the distance. Wantage Road Station, located at the heart of Grove village just north of Wantage, had been serving passengers since its opening in 1846. However, as progress marched forward relentlessly, it eventually succumbed to closure for both passenger and goods traffic in 1964 and 1965 respectively. The station buildings exude an air of simplicity and functionality, reflecting the era's architectural style prevalent among rural stations. It is fascinating to observe how such modest structures played a vital role in connecting communities during those times. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where steam locomotives chugged along these tracks daily. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage while reminding us of how transportation has evolved over the years. Preserved within STEAM Museum's collection of Great Western Railway memorabilia, this print allows us to appreciate not only the physical aspects but also the intangible stories woven into every brick and rail at Wantage Road Station.
