EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a glimpse of the bustling Newton Abbott Railway Station in Devon back in 1899. The station, with its Victorian architecture and steam locomotives, exudes an air of nostalgia and history. Passengers can be seen waiting on the platform, eagerly anticipating their journey ahead.
The print showcases the intricate details of the station's design, from its ornate ironwork to the large clock that stands proudly above the entrance. The hustle and bustle of daily life at the station are evident as porters scurry about attending to luggage and passengers board trains bound for various destinations.
Newton Abbott Railway Station served as a vital hub for transportation in Devon during this time period, connecting travelers to nearby towns and cities. The sight of steam billowing from locomotives evokes a sense of excitement and adventure that was synonymous with train travel in the late 19th century.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to an era when rail travel was at its peak. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to admire and reflect upon, reminding us of the enduring legacy of our railway heritage.
