1960s Gloucestershire Grade Ii Listed Station Kemble Pumping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the 1960s, offering a glimpse into the historic Kemble Station in Gloucestershire. The image showcases not only the station itself but also highlights two significant structures - the pumping house and the end of the platform. The pumping house, with its striking architecture, stands as a testament to engineering marvels of its time. Its purpose was to ensure a steady supply of water for steam locomotives that passed through Kemble Station. This vital function played an integral role in keeping trains running smoothly along this stretch of railway. As we explore further into this snapshot from history, our attention is drawn to another remarkable feature - a limestone bridge that gracefully spans over tracks and platforms. In recognition of its architectural significance, this beautiful structure was granted Grade II listed status in 2015. Moreover, it is worth noting that both Kemble Station and its accompanying water tank were recognized for their historical importance much earlier. They were awarded listed status in 1986, preserving their heritage value for generations to come. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an era when steam locomotion reigned supreme and stations like Kemble served as vital hubs connecting communities across Gloucestershire.
