Opened in 1900 by the Great Western Railway on what is today the line from Newbury to Taunton, this station closed in 1966. View west towards Lavington and Taunton, also Devizes. There were two parallel platforms here, with three platform faces. The former station footbridge was still extant when this image was taken, and appears to be the only surviving structure.
