EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Newnham on Severn Station in Gloucestershire. The image captures a bustling scene as passengers eagerly board an auto train, their excitement palpable. Newnham station, which opened its doors in September 1851, served as a vital transportation hub for the local community and beyond. Despite a temporary closure during World War II, it continued to connect people until its final closure in November 1964. The Edwardian era charm is evident throughout the photograph - from the elegant attire of the passengers to the vintage automobiles waiting patiently on the platform. The nostalgic atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a classic signal tower, standing tall against the backdrop of lush Gloucestershire countryside. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when rail travel was at its peak and showcases how it brought communities together. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when boarding trains was an adventure filled with anticipation and wonder. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from STEAM Museum of GWR, we are transported back over a century ago – witnessing history unfold before our eyes. A testament to human progress and innovation, this print encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for an era long gone.
