EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Swansea Goods Yard in Glamorgan, South Wales, circa 1890. The image showcases the bustling railway scene, with the Great Western Railway's (GWR) tracks stretching out before us. Two horses and carts are situated in the middle of the frame, their owners likely waiting for the arrival of goods from the nearby docks. Ventilated vans line the tracks on either side, their open doors revealing the contents within. These vans were essential for transporting various goods, from foodstuffs to raw materials, across long distances. The horses and carts would then be used to distribute these goods to their final destinations within the local community. The Victorian era was a time of significant industrial growth in South Wales, and the railway played a crucial role in connecting the region to the rest of the country. Swansea Goods Yard was a vital hub for this transportation network, facilitating the movement of goods between the docks and the wider community. The intricate details of the photograph, from the horses' harnesses to the individual bricks of the railway arches, transport us back to an era of horse-drawn transport and steam-powered trains. This image offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Swansea and the vital role it played in the transportation landscape of the 1890s.
