EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Cricklade Street, Swindon, taken around 1900. The image offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past as we peer northwards from the top of Cricklade Street. On the left side of the street, we can still see some familiar buildings that have stood the test of time. Their enduring presence serves as a reminder of Swindon's rich history and architectural heritage. However, it is impossible to ignore the absence on the right side where two iconic pubs once stood proudly - The Lord Raglan and The King Arms. These establishments were once bustling hubs for locals and visitors alike, but sadly they have since been demolished. Despite their absence today, their memory lingers on through photographs like this one. The raised pavement adds an interesting dimension to this snapshot from yesteryears. It harks back to a time when pedestrians enjoyed strolling along wide pavements without fear of traffic congestion or hurried footsteps. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect upon how our surroundings change over decades and centuries. It reminds us that progress often comes at a cost - old structures make way for new ones while memories are etched forever in photographs like these. Visit STEAM Museum of GWR to explore more fascinating glimpses into Swindon's past and immerse yourself in its rich railway history – an experience that will transport you through time itself!
