EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming Athelney Station in Somerset, circa 1960. The image captures a nostalgic view of the station, with its quaint level crossing gates standing proudly in the foreground. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a simpler time when steam trains were the lifeline of transportation. Athelney Station holds a significant place in Somerset's railway heritage. Opening its doors on the Yeovil-Taunton Line in 1853, it served as an important link for both passengers and goods. For over a century, this bustling station witnessed countless journeys and shared stories of travelers passing through. However, like many other stations during that era, Athelney met its fate and closed down in June 1964. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era gone by – a testament to progress and change within our transport systems. The STEAM Museum of GWR is proud to preserve this remarkable piece of history within their collection. Through images such as these, they strive to keep alive the memories and experiences associated with Britain's iconic Great Western Railway. As we admire this evocative print from Athelney Station, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing those moments that shaped our past.
