EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to Andoversford Junction, Gloucestershire in the 1950s. The image captures a nostalgic view of Andoversford Junction railway station, which played a vital role in connecting this charming market town with the rest of Gloucestershire and beyond. Opened in 1881, this bustling station served as a gateway for both passengers and goods traveling to and from the nearby market. The vibrant atmosphere depicted in this photograph reflects an era when steam locomotives were still prevalent, filling the air with billowing clouds of smoke and evoking a sense of excitement. Sadly, like many other stations during that time period, Andoversford Junction met its demise in the early 1960s. Its closure marked an end to an important chapter in local transportation history. Today, all that remains are memories captured within photographs such as this one. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for what once was—a bustling hub filled with anticipation and adventure. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how our world has evolved over time while paying homage to those who worked tirelessly to keep our communities connected through rail travel
