Fine Art Print : Conway Castle and railway, Conwy, North Wales
Fine Art Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Conway Castle and railway, Conwy, North Wales
Back view of a train passing under an arch into Conway railway station, Conwy, North Wales. The arch has been cut through part of the original wall of Conway (Conwy) Castle. The coach itself is the New Observation Coach added to the Llanberis train by the L & NW Railway, enabling passengers to enjoy a full view of the Welsh scenery en route. An American visitor was heard remarking that the Castle was a fine structure, but it was a pity it had been built so close to the railway. The castle was built in the 13th century -- the railway somewhat later

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases the unique blend of history and modernity in the picturesque town of Conwy, North Wales. In the foreground, the back view of a train passes under the archway of Conway Castle, its New Observation Coach gleaming in the sunlight. The arch, a testament to medieval engineering, has been ingeniously cut through part of the castle wall to accommodate the railway. The crenellations and original stonework of the castle can still be seen, contrasting starkly with the smooth metal tracks and the signal post. The American visitor in the background, perhaps with a camera in hand, marvels at the castle's grandeur but expresses a sense of disappointment at its proximity to the railway. Conway Castle, a 13th-century fortress, was built long before the advent of railways, and some may argue that its beauty has been compromised by the intrusion of this modern mode of transport. However, this photograph also represents the spirit of progress and the allure of travel. The New Observation Coach, added to the Llanberis train by the L&NW Railway, offers passengers an unobstructed view of the breathtaking Welsh scenery as they journey through time and history. The castle, the train, and the landscape all come together to create a scene that is as enchanting as it is intriguing.
