Railway Station...of yesteryear
Location: Winchcombe Railway Station, Greet, Gloucestershire, England.
Winchcombe railway station has the appearance of time standing still, as it is a snapshot of what a typical provincial railway station would have looked like in the late 1950's early 1960's.
In fact the original station was closed for passenger service in 1960, although the line remained open for freight traffic. However, by March 1965, the station site had been levelled, leaving only the weighhouse, goods shed and residential accommodation. The signal box remained in operation until 24 February 1965, shortly after which it was demolished. Now, thanks to a group of enthusiasts, the station has been rebuilt in the late 1980's, using materials and buildings dismantled stone-by-stone from other sites and re-erected at Winchcombe.
