EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Newquay Station Goods Yard, circa 1930. The image showcases a vibrant scene with rows of houses from Oakleigh Terrace standing proudly behind and on the left side of the goods yard. It offers a glimpse into the daily life and activities that once thrived in this corner of Cornwall. In its heyday, Newquay Station Goods Yard was a vital hub for transporting goods and materials across the region. Trains would come and go, laden with all manner of cargo, as workers diligently unloaded or loaded them onto waiting trucks. This snapshot captures an era when commerce flowed through these tracks, connecting communities far and wide. Sadly, progress eventually caught up with this historic site. The closure of Newquay's goods yard came in 1965, marking the end of an era for both locals and railway enthusiasts alike. Today, where once stood bustling activity now lies a supermarket car park - a stark reminder of how times have changed. Preserved within this print is not just an image but also memories frozen in time; it serves as a testament to the importance railways held in shaping our past. As we gaze upon this piece from STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we are transported back to an era long gone but forever etched into history's fabric
