Caption

Great Western Railway - the Swindon station, 1845. Steam locomotive at Swindon in Wiltshire. 'The Railway Station, or Stations - for there is one on each side of the road - are, perhaps, second to none in the kingdom; and their accommodation is of the most elegant and splendid description. Independent of the magnificent Refreshment Rooms, on each side of the line, there are an excellent Hotel and sleeping apartments: they communicate with each other by a covered passage over the railway'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
