EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Cambrian Coast Express in all its glory during the year 1961. The powerful locomotive leading this prestigious train is none other than the remarkable 7800 class 4-6-0 number 7818 Granville Manor, expertly captured by Selwyn Pearce-Higgins. The Cambrian Coast Express was a beloved mode of transportation for passengers traveling between London Paddington station and Aberystwyth, with Birmingham serving as an important stop along the way. This scenic journey spanned approximately six hours at that time, allowing travelers to marvel at the picturesque landscapes unfolding before their eyes. Unfortunately, as history would have it, this cherished train service came to an abrupt halt in 1967. However, through this evocative photograph, we are transported back to a time when steam engines ruled the rails and travel was imbued with a sense of elegance and adventure. Selwyn Pearce-Higgins' skillful composition not only showcases the majestic locomotive but also immortalizes an era when rail travel held immense allure. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but be reminded of the rich heritage and nostalgia associated with these magnificent trains that once connected distant destinations while creating lasting memories for those fortunate enough to embark on their journeys.
