EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to Church Place in Swindon, 1927. The focal point of this image is a charming cottage nestled amidst a picturesque village setting. This humble abode once belonged to C. B. Collett, an esteemed figure as the Chief Mechanical Engineer at Swindon during that time. The house itself exudes an air of seclusion and privacy, thanks to the towering privet hedge that encloses it. It becomes evident that Mr. Collett was a man who valued his solitude and cherished his personal space dearly. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our imagination runs wild with curiosity about what life must have been like for Mr. Collett within these walls. Perhaps he sought solace here after long days spent overseeing railway operations or found inspiration for his groundbreaking engineering designs. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also captures the essence of village life in Swindon nearly a century ago. The quaint cottages lining Church Place evoke feelings of nostalgia and simplicity, reminding us of a bygone era when communities thrived on close-knit relationships and shared experiences. In preserving this moment through photography, we are granted access to a glimpse into both personal history and wider cultural context – all encapsulated within one frame at STEAM Museum's collection dedicated to celebrating the Great Western Railway heritage.
