Heytesbury Station

Can anyone tell me when Heytesbury Station was closed? I believe it was "Beechinged." My great uncle was station master there for several years and lived at Station Cottages, where we used to spend holidays. I am trying to trace when he retired, and also another man he had working with him who may be a relation. Great uncle's name was Bert Sparey, his assistant was just known as Jim.

Actually, for once Beeching was "not guilty"! Heytesbury station closed to goods and passengers on 19 Sep 1955 (long before Beeching), as did other some intermediate stations on that line.
