EDITORS COMMENTS
this drawing depicts the departure buildings at Perran and Penryn Railway Station, captured on August 2, 1862. The intricate details of the architecture and the hustle and bustle of activity around the station convey a sense of the vibrant railway culture that was emerging during this period. The station buildings, with their distinctive red-brick facades and ornate details, exude an air of grandeur and importance. The large arched windows allow natural light to flood in, while the tall chimneys suggest the presence of steam engines nearby. The stationmaster's office, with its flagpole and clock tower, stands proudly at the center, symbolizing the vital role the station played in connecting communities and facilitating travel. Surrounding the station buildings, there is a bustling scene of activity. People can be seen milling about, some boarding trains, others waiting on the platform, and still others loading and unloading goods from carts and carriages. The presence of horses and carts, as well as the steam engines in the background, underscores the importance of the railway as a key mode of transportation for both passengers and goods. The drawing also provides a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the time. Women in long, flowing skirts and bonnets can be seen waiting on the platform, while men in top hats and frock coats haggle over the price of goods. The overall scene is one of energy and excitement, as people go about their daily lives, connected by the railway network that spanned the country. This drawing is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of rail travel in Cornwall and the importance of the railway in shaping the social and economic fabric of the region.
