EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to the enchanting era of 1940s Cornwall. The image captures a nostalgic view of Newquay Station, where time seems to stand still. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, we find ourselves standing on platform 1, peering across at platform 2. The station is bustling with activity as a majestic locomotive patiently awaits its next journey. Its powerful presence exudes an air of anticipation and adventure, ready to whisk passengers away to distant destinations. The steam billowing from its engine creates an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the charm and allure of this scene. Cornwall's natural beauty serves as a picturesque backdrop for this timeless moment in transportation history. With rolling hills and verdant fields stretching into the distance, it's easy to imagine oneself being transported not only through space but also through time. This photograph encapsulates the essence of travel during the 1940s - a simpler yet exhilarating era when train journeys were filled with wonder and excitement. It invites us to step into the shoes of those who experienced life during wartime Cornwall while marveling at how much has changed since then. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured on film, let us be reminded that even amidst tumultuous times, there is always beauty and resilience waiting just around the corner – much like that locomotive on platform 2 at Newquay Station in c. 1940.
