Malmesbury Station (remains)
View southwards to the terminus and the Abbey beyond. This was the terminus of a Great Western branch from Little Somerford (formerly from Dauntsey) on the main lines west of Swindon. Passenger traffic had ceased on 10/9/51, but goods traffic was evidently still flourishing and continued until 12/11/62. The building at the left at the end of the fence is what was the station's engine shed and is still in use as a fast-fit tyre depot.

KwikFit, Gloucester Road Industrial Estate, Malmesbury
The building pre-dates the age of mass motoring having started life in the 19th century as an engine shed for the Malmesbury Railway which opened in 1877 and closed in 1962. It is about the only identifiable artefact of the railway still extant. More about it here http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/5020552657_929fd0d25b_b.jpg

Malmesbury railway station (site), Wiltshire
Opened in 1871 as the terminus of a branch line from Dauntsey (later Little Somerford) on the main lines west of Swindon, this station closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1962. The site has since been redeveloped.
View south along the old trackbed. The single platform was to the right, on which was a single storey station building. The old engine shed on the left is the only surviving railway building. See Image for a similar view in 1958. The former engine shed and Malmesbury Abbey are reference points.
