EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1928 showcases the bustling No 1 Shop at the Timber Yard in Swindon. A true testament to the industrial might of its time, this timber yard stored an astonishing number of planks, with some towering stacks reaching heights equivalent to three men standing atop one another. The sheer magnitude of this operation is awe-inspiring. The significance of this timber yard becomes even more apparent when considering its primary customer: the Carriage and Wagon Works. As the largest consumer of wood in Swindon, these works relied heavily on the vast quantities stored here. It's fascinating to imagine how each plank was meticulously selected and transported to contribute towards crafting exquisite carriages and wagons that were renowned for their quality. Stepping back into history through this photograph allows us a glimpse into a bygone era where manual labor played a crucial role in shaping our world. The sight of countless planks neatly arranged within this timber yard evokes feelings of admiration for those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Preserved by STEAM Museum, this image serves as a reminder not only of Swindon's rich industrial heritage but also pays homage to all those involved in transforming raw materials like wood into remarkable pieces that formed an integral part of transportation during that time period.
