EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to Brixham Station, circa 1910. The image captures a bustling scene with passengers eagerly awaiting their train on the platform. Standing tall and proud beside them is an unknown locomotive, its steam billowing into the air, ready to transport these travelers to their destinations. As we shift our gaze towards the right-hand side of the picture, we are greeted by a collection of coal and fish wagons neatly arranged along the tracks. These wagons serve as a reminder of Brixham's thriving industries during this era - coal mining and fishing being prominent sources of livelihood for many locals. In the distance, we catch sight of a sturdy goods shed that stands as a testament to Brixham's importance as a trading hub. This structure would have been vital in handling various goods transported through this station - connecting Brixham with other towns and cities across Devon. Transporting ourselves back over a century ago, this photograph encapsulates not only an important moment in history but also highlights how railways played an integral role in shaping communities like Brixham. It serves as both a nostalgic window into our past and an appreciation for how far we've come in terms of transportation technology today.
