This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the year 1907, capturing a moment in time at the No 7 Carriage Finishing Shop. As we gaze upon this image, it becomes evident that it was taken at the end of a long and productive working day. The worn-out tools lay scattered across wooden workbenches, telling tales of skilled craftsmen who meticulously prepared doors, windows, and decorative features for finishing carriages. The sawdust-covered floor serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work. It is an exquisite reminder of the craftsmanship that went into every detail of these magnificent carriages. The scent of freshly cut wood lingers in the air as we imagine carpenters tirelessly shaping and refining each piece with precision. Located within Swindon Works, known for its renowned carriage manufacturing during that era, this workshop was bustling with activity. The No 7 Carriage Finishing Shop served as a hub where talented artisans transformed raw materials into works of art on wheels. This print not only captures a glimpse into history but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. It reminds us of an era when attention to detail mattered greatly and quality was paramount. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the skillful hands that once graced these tools and celebrate their contribution towards creating some truly remarkable carriages that were emblematic of British engineering excellence.
