EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent signal gantry at Newton Abbot Station in Devon, dating back to approximately 1920. Originally known as Newton when it opened its doors in December 1846 under the management of the South Devon Railway Company, the station underwent significant developments over the years. By 1877, it was renamed Newton Abbot and boasted an impressive array of facilities including a large goods shed, train sheds, and bustling workshops that played a crucial role in converting stock and lines to standard gauge. Between the two world wars, Newton Abbot station experienced further expansion and reconstruction. In April 1927, it proudly unveiled its newly designed station building by Culverhouse. This architectural gem added a touch of elegance to an already thriving railway hub. The signal gantry showcased in this photograph stands tall as a testament to both engineering prowess and historical significance. It served as a vital communication link for trains passing through this vibrant transportation hub during the early twentieth century. Today, thanks to preservation efforts by institutions like STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we can marvel at this glimpse into our rich railway heritage. The image encapsulates not only the grandeur of Newton Abbot Station but also highlights its pivotal role within Devon's transport history. Let us cherish these snapshots from yesteryears that remind us how far we have come on our journey towards modernity while honoring those who paved the way before us.
