<b>Malmesbury railway station (site), Wiltshire</b><br>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.

The former engine shed and Malmesbury Abbey are reference points.
