EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and engineering marvel of Severn Bridge Station in Gloucestershire, circa 1910. The image, taken from the western bank of the River Severn, showcases the full expanse of the Severn Railway Bridge as it gracefully arches over to Sharpness. The station, which opened in 1879, once played a vital role in the transportation of goods and people across the river. The Severn Bridge Station, with its red-brick facade and ornate detailing, stands proudly in the foreground. The station, which closed in the early 1960s, was a testament to the industrial prowess of the era. The bridge, an engineering feat of its time, can be seen stretching out into the distance, its iron girders and suspension cables forming a harmonious blend of strength and elegance. The River Severn, with its tranquil waters, mirrors the reflection of the bridge and the station, adding a serene element to the scene. The lush greenery surrounding the area further highlights the harmony between the man-made structure and the natural beauty of the landscape. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the railway was the primary means of transportation and the Severn Bridge was a symbol of progress and connection. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and industrial heritage of Gloucestershire and the Severn Bridge.
