EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Snapshot of History: The Great Western Railway Line at Treffgarne, Pembrokeshire, South Wales (1905)" 2.. This evocative photograph captures a moment in time along the Great Western Railway (GWR) line at Treffgarne, Pembrokeshire, in South Wales, during the Edwardian era. The image, taken in 1905, showcases the rugged terrain and the engineering prowess of the railway system as it winds its way through the picturesque landscape. The cutting at Treffgarne, Nant Y Coy, is a testament to the determination and hard work of the navvies who toiled to carve out a passage for the railway through the Welsh hills. The navvy hut on the left serves as a reminder of the temporary shelters that housed the workers and their families during the construction process. The railway line, with its distinctive tracks and rails, clings precariously to the side of the hill, weaving its way around the rocks and contours of the land. The steep incline and the challenging terrain would have presented significant engineering challenges, requiring the expertise and skill of the GWR engineers and navvies. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when the railway was a marvel of modern transportation. The image not only showcases the historical significance of the GWR line but also highlights the rich industrial heritage of Pembrokeshire and South Wales. This photograph, with its intriguing details and captivating story, is a must-have for anyone interested in railway history, Welsh history, or the social and industrial developments of the early 20th century.
