Opened in 1841 on the Great Western Railway's line from Swindon to Stroud, this station closed in 1964. View west towards Minety and Stroud. The former booking office survives, the flat roof being a later addition, along with part of the platform. The line was singled in 1968, but redoubled 4 years after this image was taken. See Image for a 2021 image taken from the same camera position.
