EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to Exeter St Davids Station in 1940. The image showcases the smart exterior view of the Refreshment Rooms and Snack Bar, which were an integral part of a modernization project led by GWR Chief Architect Percy Culverhouse. The station's refreshment facilities stand proudly on the platform, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. With their polished windows and neatly arranged tables, they beckon weary travelers to take a momentary respite from their journeys. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and delectable treats wafts through the air, enticing passersby to indulge in a well-deserved break. Exeter St Davids Station itself is bustling with activity as passengers scurry about, eager to catch their trains or bid farewell to loved ones. Amidst this flurry of movement, Culverhouse's architectural vision shines through - blending functionality with aesthetic appeal seamlessly. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where train travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about experiencing moments of tranquility amidst the chaos. This photograph serves as a testament to both Percy Culverhouse's innovative design philosophy and the enduring charm that railway stations hold within them. It reminds us that even amidst wartime challenges, places like Exeter St Davids Station provided solace for those seeking comfort during uncertain times.
