EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era when cricket was not just a sport but an embodiment of community spirit and teamwork. Captured around 1906, it showcases the Swindon Works' Drawing Office Cricket Team in all their glory. In this sepia-toned snapshot, we witness a group of dapper gentlemen proudly donning their cricket whites, exuding confidence and camaraderie. The team members stand tall with their bats held high or resting on shoulders while posing for posterity. Their faces reflect determination mixed with lightheartedness – a testament to both their commitment to excellence on the field and their ability to find joy amidst daily work at one of Britain's most renowned railway engineering establishments.

As we gaze upon this historic photograph, let us celebrate not only these individuals but also acknowledge how they represent countless unsung heroes who contributed significantly to shaping our modern world through railways.
