EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant Managers Houses, Marlow House and Station House, dating back to approximately 1910. These magnificent villas were constructed north of Swindon Station as residences for the esteemed managers of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The image offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by these influential figures during that era. Interestingly, this was not the first time such grand houses had adorned this area. In fact, similar residences once stood adjacent to the renowned Railway Village but unfortunately met their demise in the 1870s due to demolition. However, GWR's commitment to providing luxurious accommodation for its managerial staff remained unwavering. The photograph captures both Marlow House and Station House in all their glory, showcasing their architectural splendor and impeccable craftsmanship. These homes exude an air of sophistication with their well-manicured gardens and imposing facades. As we delve into history through this remarkable image from STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back in time to an era when railway managers held significant influence within society. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how industries like GWR went beyond mere transportation services; they also provided a symbol of prestige and prosperity for those fortunate enough to reside within these splendid abodes.
