EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Camborne Railway Station in the early 1920s. The station's timeless charm is evident through its splendid platform lamps, casting a warm glow on the bustling scene below. The contrasting awnings add an interesting architectural element, with the down platform boasting a flat design while the up side features a pitched version. The image also showcases the unique combination of old and new railway technology. Stubby semaphore signals stand proudly against the covered over bridge, symbolizing an era when manual signaling was still prevalent. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of the remarkable 35 lever signal box that remained in operation until 1970 – a testament to its durability and importance in managing train movements during that time. To further enrich this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to a locomotive standing gracefully in a siding behind the fence line on the right-hand side of the picture. This powerful machine serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich railway heritage and its vital role in connecting communities across Great Britain. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this evocative print allows us to step back into an era where steam trains ruled and stations like Camborne were vibrant hubs of activity. It encapsulates not only Cornish history but also pays homage to Great Western Railways' contribution to transforming transportation throughout England.
