1900s Edwardian Junction Station Wiltshire Holt Outing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of an Edwardian outing at Holt Station in Wiltshire, taken on the 4th of July, 1905. The scene at the railway junction is filled with excitement and anticipation as the employees and their families of Beavens Tannery in Holt prepare to board the train to Portsmouth. Dressed in their Sunday best, they gather around the platform, some with small children in tow, while others engage in animated conversations. The train, a symbol of modern transportation, sits proudly in the station, its steam engine emitting a plume of smoke against the clear blue sky. The station building, with its red-brick facade and ornate details, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the era. The lush green landscape surrounding the station, dotted with trees and wildflowers, adds to the idyllic scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when outings to the seaside were a cherished tradition, and the railway played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating travel. The Edwardian era, with its elegance and charm, is beautifully captured in this moment at Holt Station, a moment that remains frozen in time.
