Chiseldon railway station (site), Wiltshire
Opened in 1881 by the Swindon Marlborough and Andover Railway, later part of the Midland & South Western Junction Railway, this station closed to passengers in 1961.
View south east towards Chiseldon Camp and Marlborough. The two platforms were on a curve and the line continued underneath a road bridge (now filled in) behind the silver car. The site has been landscaped and the ground level appears to have been raised. Almost no trace of the station survives.
