EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to Exeter St Davids Station in Devon, circa 1913. The image captures a significant moment during the station's history - the demolition of its overall roof, which occurred between 1912 and 1914. As we delve into this snapshot of the past, our eyes are drawn to the center-right where an impressive locomotive stands proudly amidst the construction chaos. Identified as 0-6-0 Saddle Tank no. 1956, it exudes power and elegance against a backdrop of scaffolding and debris. The scene is filled with intrigue as workers diligently carry out their tasks while others pause for a moment to observe or perhaps contemplate their next move. The atmosphere is one of both progress and nostalgia; witnessing such transformation evokes mixed emotions about bidding farewell to an iconic architectural feature. Exeter St Davids Station has long been a hub connecting people across Devon and beyond, serving as a gateway to new adventures or welcoming loved ones home. This photograph not only documents an important phase in its evolution but also serves as a reminder that even structures we hold dear must adapt over time. Through this remarkable piece of history preserved at STEAM Museum, we are transported back more than a century ago, allowing us to reflect on how far transportation has come while appreciating the beauty found within these moments frozen in time.
