| Melksham station in times gone by These pictures are all of Melksham station, starting with the most recent. Other old pictures of the station are on another page.  After nearly 20 years of closure, Melksham Station was re-opened in 1985  Melksham Station was closed in 1966 and the buildingd demolished a few years later. The track, once the main line to Weymouth, was singled. In this picture, you see the station with the old up platform out of use and the down platform adandoned.  As late as the early 1960s, Melksham station appeared to be thriving. This picture is dated circa 1964 - that's just two years before closure to passenger traffic.  Melksham Station, circa 1940  Melksham Station, circa 1905  Melksham Station; this picture is marked 1847, which would date it back to the original opening. Personally, I doubt that date although the picture is clearly an early one. Many thanks to the Melksham Historic Society and Tony Seager for supplying these pictures, and for their permission to use them on this site. Further historic pictures |
