EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Great Western Railway (GWR) cutting at Treffgarne, Nant Y Coy, in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, during the Edwardian era. The image, taken in 1906, showcases the intricate engineering feat that allowed the railway line to traverse the rugged terrain of the Welsh countryside. The cutting, carved into the hillside, is flanked by lush greenery and rocks, with a wooden bridge on the left, adding to the scene's picturesque beauty. The GWR cutting at Treffgarne is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the railway builders of the time. The steep, narrow passageway through the hillside allowed the railway line to continue its journey, connecting communities and facilitating the transportation of goods and people. The intricate details of the cutting, from the carefully laid tracks to the meticulously crafted masonry, are on full display in this photograph. The wooden bridge in the foreground adds an extra layer of historical interest to the scene. The bridge, which appears to be made of timber, was likely used to provide access to the railway line for maintenance or construction purposes. Its inclusion in the photograph underscores the importance of the railway as a vital infrastructure project in the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the railway was a marvel of modern technology and a symbol of progress. The image captures the essence of the GWR cutting at Treffgarne, a historical landmark that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to Pembrokeshire, Wales, to this day.
