EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mid-19th century, capturing the essence of Maidenhead (Dumb Bell Bridge) Station circa 1850. The image showcases the original timber station that once stood proudly at this bustling transportation hub in Berkshire. A relic from a bygone era, this station would later be replaced in 1871 by a new structure built further west along the main line. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era when steam locomotives ruled the rails and train travel was still a novelty. The intricate details of the timber architecture evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonderment, reminding us of simpler times. Reproduced from George Measoms Guide to the Great Western Railway published in 1852, this print serves as both a testament to our rich railway heritage and an invitation to explore our past. It offers a glimpse into how transportation infrastructure has evolved over time, showcasing how progress has shaped our landscapes. The STEAM Museum of GWR is proud to preserve such remarkable artifacts that tell stories beyond words. This particular image captures not only Maidenhead Station's history but also reflects on society's fascination with innovation and connectivity during that period
