EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Blue Anchor Station and Signal Box in Somerset, a true gem from the STEAM Museum of the GWR collection. The image transports us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of this charming seaside station. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent Blue Anchor Signal Box, standing proudly on the right. Its sturdy structure exudes an air of authority as it oversaw train operations with precision and care. Adjacent to it lies a level crossing that controlled road traffic leading to the picturesque seafront. Originally opened in July 1874, Blue Anchor Station served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike. However, its passenger services sadly came to an end in January 1971. Fortunately, in 1976, this historical site found new life as part of the West Somerset Railway – a preserved line dedicated to preserving our rich railway heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we can almost hear echoes of steam engines chugging along and feel a sense of nostalgia wash over us. This print serves as both a testament to our past and an invitation for future generations to explore and appreciate our railway legacy
