A plaque was unveiled on the last remaining building of Malmesbury Station, its former engine shed, last Saturday.

The branch line, popularly known as the Malmesbury Bunk operated from the 1870s to the 1960s and the shed is now an MOT test centre.

Barry Dent of the Civic Trust said: “The line is still fondly remembered by many of the town’s older citizens.The shed has recently been sensitively refurbished by Kwik Fit.

“This seems a very appropriate 21st century use for a 19th century building where steam engines were serviced, two decades before motor cars became a practical form of transport.”
