EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the West Cornwall Railway Station at Hayle, Cornwall, transporting us back to the early 1930s. The station stands proudly in the foreground, its charming architecture a testament to a bygone era of travel. Behind it, we catch a glimpse of the magnificent viaduct that stretches across the landscape, an engineering marvel connecting distant destinations. Originally opened on March 11th, 1852 by the West Cornwall Railway company, this station replaced its predecessor located in what is now known as the Isis RNLI Memorial Gardens. Serving as a vital link for mining communities and railway enthusiasts alike, this historic hub witnessed countless journeys filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly, this beloved landmark met its demise shortly after World War II in 1947 when it was demolished. However, through this photograph's lens captured by an unknown photographer from yesteryears, we can still appreciate its grandeur and significance today. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time - mining carts absent but not forgotten - our imagination takes flight envisioning steam engines puffing away on their tracks while passengers eagerly await their departure or arrival. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how railways shaped Cornish history and continues to inspire admiration for these iron horses that once roamed our lands.
