EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bodmin Road Station in the 1950s, capturing a nostalgic glimpse into Cornwall's railway history. Located near the renowned Lanhydrock House, which is now under the care of the National Trust, this station opened its doors to passengers back in 1859. Serving as a vital transportation hub for both locals and visitors alike, it played an essential role in connecting communities across Cornwall. The image evokes a sense of timelessness with its vintage charm. The bustling platform reveals passengers eagerly awaiting their trains while steam billows from locomotives ready to embark on their journeys. This snapshot freezes a moment that would soon become part of history. Sadly, like many other stations during that era, passenger services ceased at Bodmin Road Station in 1967. However, it was not until 1983 that the station underwent a name change and became known as Bodmin Parkway. Preserved within this print is more than just an architectural marvel; it encapsulates memories and stories of countless travelers who passed through these very walls. It serves as a reminder of how railways once connected people and places long before modern modes of transportation took over. Now housed within the STEAM Museum of GWR collection, this photograph allows us to step back in time and appreciate the rich heritage associated with Bodmin Road Station—a testament to Cornwall's vibrant past intertwined with rail travel.
