EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Adlestrop Station in the heart of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, stands proudly in 1933, a testament to the golden age of railway travel. The station, which opened in 1853, is a charming example of Victorian architecture with its red-brick station building, complete with ornate detailing and tall chimneys. The station's name, "Adlestrop," is inscribed in elegant letters above the entrance. To the left of the station building, the train tracks stretch out into the distance, disappearing into the rolling hills and verdant countryside that characterizes the Cotswolds. A goods shed, with its large wooden doors open, sits to the right of the station, hinting at the bustling activity that once took place here. Adlestrop Station was an essential stop on the Cotswold Line, connecting the picturesque villages and market towns of the region to the larger cities and towns beyond. The station closed its doors in 1966, and the station building was demolished the same year. The signal box, too, closed in 1964. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when steam trains ruled the rails and the simple pleasure of a day out at the station was a cherished experience. Today, Adlestrop Station remains a beloved memory, preserved in the annals of railway history and in the hearts of those who remember its charm and character.
