EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1920s, capturing a serene winter scene at Ashburton Station in Devon. The station, nestled amidst a picturesque snowy landscape, exudes an air of tranquility and nostalgia. Ashburton Station first opened its doors to passengers in May 1872, serving as a vital transportation hub for the local community. However, by November 1958, it ceased its passenger services. Despite this setback, the station continued to thrive with goods traffic until September 1962. A glimmer of hope emerged when it experienced a brief revival as part of the Dart Valley Heritage Railway before finally closing its doors for good in 1971. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the distant whistle of steam engines and feel the crispness of winter air. The snow-covered tracks lead our eyes towards the charming terminus building standing proudly against nature's wintry embrace. This image not only captures a moment from history but also serves as a reminder of how railways were once integral parts of communities' lives. It invites us to reflect on how times have changed while appreciating the enduring beauty that remains within these historical landmarks. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print from STEAM Museum of GWR, we are transported back to an era where train journeys were filled with anticipation and wonderment – reminding us that even in stillness lies stories waiting to be discovered.
