EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, specifically to Bourton-on-the-Water Station in Gloucestershire around 1910. The image offers an overall view of this bustling transportation hub that served as a lifeline for the local villages during its operational years. The station is alive with activity, showcasing two locomotives stationed at each platform. Passengers eagerly await their trains on the platforms, dressed in period attire that transports us further into the past. It's fascinating to see how people from different walks of life came together at this central point, connecting communities and facilitating travel across Gloucestershire. Outside the front of the station stands a horse and cart, perhaps waiting to transport goods or passengers to their final destinations. This scene adds an extra layer of charm and nostalgia to the photograph, reminding us of simpler times when horsepower was still prevalent alongside steam power. Bourton-on-the-Water Station opened its doors in 1881 but sadly closed down in 1964. However, through photographs like these preserved by institutions such as STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we can relive moments from history and gain insight into how our ancestors lived and traveled. This particular snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the importance of railways in shaping local communities throughout history.
