This print captures the essence of Bodmin Road Station in Cornwall during the 1960s. The station, which opened its doors in 1859 near the magnificent Lanhydrock House, stands as a testament to the rich history of railway travel. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back in time to an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks. The scene depicts a bustling platform with passengers eagerly awaiting their trains. The architecture of Bodmin Road Station is showcased beautifully, showcasing its Victorian charm and grandeur. The surrounding landscape of picturesque Cornwall adds to the allure, with rolling hills and lush greenery creating a stunning backdrop. It is intriguing to note that this once-thriving station ceased passenger services in 1967, marking an end to an era of rail travel for many locals and visitors alike. However, it was not until 1983 that the station changed its name to Bodmin Parkway. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how railways have shaped our world throughout history. It invites us to reflect on bygone days when train journeys were filled with anticipation and wonderment. Now preserved within STEAM Museum's collection, this snapshot from yesteryear allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and cultural significance of Bodmin Road Station during its heyday
