EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1940, capturing a nostalgic view of St Erth Station in Cornwall. Steeped in history, this station first opened its doors to passengers in 1852 under the name St Ives Road before being renamed St Erth during the 1870s. The image showcases a bustling scene at the station, with trains ready to depart and eager travelers awaiting their journeys. The architecture of the station building reflects its Victorian origins, exuding an air of grandeur and elegance even amidst wartime conditions. St Erth Station holds a significant place within Cornwall's transportation network as it continues to serve both the Cornish Main Line and the branch line leading towards picturesque St Ives. It stands as a testament to resilience and endurance, having weathered over eight decades since this photograph was taken. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where steam locomotives ruled supreme and train travel was an integral part of daily life. This evocative image serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage while also sparking curiosity about how much has changed since those bygone days. Preserved within STEAM Museum's collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of St Erth Station but also its historical significance within Cornwall's landscape.
