EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling Carriage Body Shop located in what would later become the No 2 Shop Sawmill at Swindon Works. The wooden craftsmanship that went into creating these magnificent coaches is evident as we observe stacks of panels and doors awaiting their fitting. In this Victorian-era scene, skilled artisans can be imagined meticulously assembling each intricate detail of these horse-drawn carriages. The shop was a hive of activity, with craftsmen working diligently to bring these elegant vehicles to life. Their expertise and dedication are palpable in every piece waiting patiently for its place. The historical significance of this carriage body shop cannot be overstated. It served as an essential hub within Swindon Works, where innovation and artistry converged seamlessly. As time progressed, the carriage body shop eventually relocated next door, leaving behind memories etched in wood shavings and echoes of masterful craftsmanship. This print transports us back to an era when transportation relied on horsepower rather than engines. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the functionality that came together within those walls – a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. Displayed at STEAM Museum of the GWR (Great Western Railway), this image serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their skills towards building such remarkable pieces of history.
