CHELTENHAM RAILWAY STATION PROJECT HOW CCC IS BRIGHTENING OUR TRAVEL EXPERIENCE!
E
ach year Cheltenham Camera Club celebrates the town by holding a club competition capturing an aspect of Cheltenham.
It was while a member was taking a picture of Lansdown station for this competition that a conversation with the manager initiated a joint photographic project. After further conversations sharing members’ prints, the project developed to have exhibitions in both of the waiting rooms at Cheltenham station. GWR redecorated the waiting rooms, and frames were installed that can be easily opened to change the images on a rolling programme.

Work shown includes a wide range of members’ work as well as images celebrating the town and the county of Gloucestershire. The first exhibition was formally opened by the Mayor of Cheltenham last Autumn. Since then images have been changed to reflect our sporting heritage for Gold Cup Week. The project has been such a success that Cheltenham Camera Club is now working with GWR to enhance the railway stations across Gloucestershire. Martin Fry
