EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to c1910, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of Totnes, Devon. The image showcases Fore Street, one of the town's bustling thoroughfares, as it stretches westward towards the iconic Eastgate arch. This Elizabethan structure held great significance as it marked the boundary of Totnes' medieval town. The photograph allows us to marvel at this architectural gem that once stood proudly over Fore Street. Sadly, disaster struck in 1990 when a devastating fire reduced the arch to ashes. However, thanks to dedicated efforts and a commitment to preserving Totnes' historical legacy, it was subsequently rebuilt with meticulous attention to detail. As we take in this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn not only to the magnificent Eastgate arch but also to other notable landmarks along Fore Street. The clock tower stands tall amidst an array of charming buildings that exude old-world charm and character. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how towns like Totnes carry their past within their present-day fabric. It invites us on a journey through time where we can appreciate both what has been lost and what has been preserved for future generations.
