EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1970, where we find ourselves immersed in the internal view of Frome Station in Somerset. The station, which first opened its doors to travelers in 1850, holds a significant place in British railway history as one of the few remaining stations boasting a timber through train shed. Designed by none other than J R Hannaford, assistant to the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself, this photograph showcases the magnificent overall roof that graces Frome Station. Its intricate design and sturdy structure are a testament to the architectural brilliance that characterized Victorian railway engineering. As our eyes wander across this image frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved this Grade II listed gem is. The timber train shed stands tall and proud against the backdrop of bustling activity within the station walls. The atmosphere captured here transports us back to an age when steam locomotives reigned supreme and passengers embarked on thrilling journeys across picturesque landscapes. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while paying homage to our rich railway heritage. This remarkable print from STEAM Museum of GWR encapsulates not only an iconic piece of architecture but also preserves a slice of history for generations to come.
