This print takes us back in time to the enchanting GWR Park on Faringdon Road, circa 1890s. Nestled within the STEAM Museum of the GWR's collection, this image offers a glimpse into an era when leisurely strolls and vibrant green spaces were cherished. The scene depicts a serene oasis amidst bustling city life. Lush trees stand tall, their branches reaching towards the sky as if embracing visitors with open arms. The park's meticulously manicured lawns invite weary souls to rest and rejuvenate, while colorful flowerbeds add a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings. Intriguingly, this photograph captures not only nature's allure but also glimpses of human activity that bring life to this tranquil haven. Couples can be seen promenading along winding pathways hand-in-hand, exchanging whispers and stolen glances. Children giggle with delight as they chase one another through sun-dappled clearings or take turns on swings suspended from sturdy tree limbs. GWR Park radiates an air of timeless elegance; it is a sanctuary where families gather for picnics under parasols and friends engage in animated conversations on wrought-iron benches. This snapshot transports us back to simpler times when people sought solace in nature's embrace amid the rapid industrialization that defined late 19th-century Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved within STEAM Museum’s archives, we are reminded of how vital these green spaces have always been
