Macro Monday Theme: Summer Olympic Sports
Tried to make it a bit more interesting with the shadows. Hard theme, but we enjoyed trying to come up with something.
Looking east towards Swindon.
Badminton station was opened in 1903 by the GWR on the line from Filton Junction to Swindon. It served the villages of Badminton and Acton Turville and was situated between Chipping Sodbury and Hullavington stations.
It managed to last until 1968 when it was closed to passengers. Goods and horse traffic had already ceased in 1966. Surprisingly the station was not named in the Beeching Report.
Badminton played at the Pearl Resort in the South Pacific.
