This print showcases the proposed roof over platforms at GWR St Erth Station in 1890. The image transports us back to a time when railway architecture was both functional and elegant, with this ambitious project aiming to enhance the passenger experience. The photograph captures the grandeur of the station's design, featuring an intricate lattice-like structure that would have sheltered passengers from inclement weather while waiting for their trains. The proposed roof spans across multiple platforms, creating a unified and visually striking aesthetic. The attention to detail in this architectural plan is remarkable; every beam and support is meticulously depicted, highlighting the engineering prowess of its time. It serves as a testament to the innovation and ambition of railway companies during this era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can't help but imagine bustling crowds eagerly awaiting their journeys beneath this magnificent canopy. This image not only offers us a glimpse into our transportation heritage but also reminds us of how infrastructure has evolved over time.
