EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting summer of 1925, as we gaze upon this print capturing the entrance to the Wrekin Trail near Wellington, Shropshire. A true gem from GWR's Publicity collection, it showcases the Forest Glen Pavilion nestled amidst nature's embrace. This charming pavilion was a haven for weary walkers seeking respite and refreshments along their journey since its establishment in 1889 until 1993. As we immerse ourselves in this picturesque scene, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic Wrekin standing proudly in the background. Its towering presence has made it an iconic landmark within the breathtaking Shropshire Hills. The lush greenery surrounding us transports us to a bygone era when nature reigned supreme. August sunbeams cast a warm glow on this idyllic setting, evoking memories of lazy summer days spent exploring these tranquil trails. It is a testament to simpler times and serves as a reminder of how important it is to preserve such natural wonders for future generations. Today, where once stood the Forest Glen Pavilion now lies a bustling carpark; however, through photographs like these, we can still relish in its historical significance and appreciate its place within our collective memory. Join us on this nostalgic journey as we celebrate not just GWR's rich heritage but also pay homage to timeless landscapes that continue to captivate hearts even after all these years.
