This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to Purton Station, nestled in the picturesque county of Wiltshire. The image beautifully captures a moment in history, as we gaze upon this quaint station looking towards Gloucester. Passengers are seen on the platform, eagerly awaiting their trains and bustling with anticipation. The station buildings stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery, exuding an air of charm and nostalgia. One cannot help but admire the architectural beauty that was once so prevalent during this era. In particular, our eyes are drawn to the impressive goods shed adjacent to the station building - a testament to Purton's significance as a hub for transportation and trade. Steeped in history, Purton Station opened its doors to passengers in 1841 and served as a vital link between Wiltshire and Gloucester until its closure in 1964. This print allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when steam engines ruled these tracks and train travel was at its peak. As we immerse ourselves in this enchanting image, we can almost hear the echoes of conversations among travelers and feel their excitement for what lay ahead on their journeys. It serves as a reminder of how railways have shaped our world while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times gone by.
