EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century with this print of Bodmin Station, Cornwall, circa 1895. Transport yourself to a bygone era as you gaze upon this snapshot from the past. The station is bustling with activity, capturing the essence of a typical summer's day in Victorian England. In the foreground, a porter stands on the platform, his trolley at hand, ready to assist passengers with their luggage. His presence adds an air of authenticity and reminds us of a time when train travel was not only efficient but also relied heavily on human labor. On the right side of the frame, a group of men can be seen lounging on a grass bank. Perhaps they are waiting for their train or simply enjoying some leisurely moments amidst nature's embrace. Their relaxed postures suggest that life moved at a slower pace during this period. The photograph showcases Bodmin Station's role as part of the Bodmin to Wadebridge line—a vital link connecting two towns in Cornwall. It serves as both an important transportation hub and a window into history. As you admire this image captured over a century ago, let your imagination wander through time and space. Picture yourself strolling along those platforms or engaging in conversation with fellow travelers from another era—truly an evocative piece that transports you back to late Victorian times in all its nostalgic glory.
