EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to 1929, capturing a poignant moment in time. The image showcases a boarded-up shop or pub located on the corner of Emlyn Square and Oxford Street, within the charming railway village. Evidently, this once bustling establishment would have been a hub of activity and community engagement. The worn wooden boards that now cover what was likely an inviting entrance tell a story of economic decline or changing times. It is fascinating to imagine what kind of business thrived here in its heyday, serving locals and travelers alike. Perhaps it was a lively pub where laughter filled the air or a quaint shop offering essential goods for daily life. Notably, W J Knees' newsagent stands proudly to the left side of this frozen moment in history. A testament to resilience amidst adversity, his thriving business contrasts with the abandoned building nearby. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that every place has its own narrative; stories woven into bricks and mortar. This image invites us to reflect on how communities evolve over time while cherishing their heritage. Through preserving such images at STEAM Museum of the GWR, we can appreciate our past and gain insights into our present as well as future aspirations for vibrant town centers like Emlyn Square along Oxford Street.
