EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the bustling era of the 1920s, where horse-drawn vehicles were an integral part of everyday life. The image showcases No 17 Shop, a hub for construction and repair activities at Swindon Works. Here, skilled craftsmen meticulously crafted and maintained a wide array of road vehicles that formed the backbone of Great Western Railway's operations. The GWR heavily relied on horse power during this period, particularly in their expansive yards and for efficient parcel deliveries. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the workshop's vibrant atmosphere as workers diligently worked on wagons, carts, and carriages with utmost precision. With its towering ceilings adorned by hanging tools and shelves filled with various parts, No 17 Shop exudes an aura of industriousness. The air is thick with sawdust while sparks fly as blacksmiths skillfully shape metal components. Horses stand patiently nearby awaiting their turn for harness fittings or repairs. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that went into maintaining GWR's extensive fleet of horse-drawn vehicles. It reminds us how these majestic creatures powered our transportation systems before automobiles took over our roads—a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when horsepower was truly equine-powered magic.
