EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the charm and history of Weymouth's Radipole Lake. The focal point is an unknown saddletank steam locomotive gracefully traversing the old timber bridge, as it makes its way towards Portland from Weymouth. This picturesque scene paints a vivid picture of how transportation once intertwined with nature in this quaint corner of Dorset. The timber bridge, which stood proudly until 1908 before being replaced, served as a vital link for the Weymouth and Portland Railway. Its demise may have been inevitable, but this snapshot immortalizes its rustic beauty forever. In the foreground, we are greeted by a group of elegant swans gliding across Radipole Lake's calm waters. These graceful creatures were not only cherished locals but also attracted visitors from far and wide even then. Today, they continue to captivate hearts and minds alike. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that progress often comes at the cost of losing beloved landmarks. Yet through photographs like these, we can still appreciate their significance and transport ourselves back to simpler times when steam engines chugged along wooden bridges while nature flourished around them.
