EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1930s Wales, where we find ourselves at Presteign Station in Presteigne. The photograph beautifully captures a moment frozen in time, as tank engine no. 1475 majestically sits in the station, exuding power and grace. Surrounding this magnificent machine are a group of young boys, their curious eyes fixed upon the spectacle before them. Presteign Station holds a significant place in history, having opened its doors to passengers in 1875. However, due to a national coal shortage and dwindling numbers of travelers, it sadly closed its passenger services during the early 1950s. Nevertheless, this iconic station continued to serve as an important hub for goods traffic until 1964. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when steam locomotives ruled the rails and stations were bustling with activity. It transports us back to an age when trains were not just modes of transportation but symbols of progress and wonderment. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, we can almost hear the hissing steam and feel the excitement radiating from those young boys who eagerly watched every movement of tank engine no. 1475. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even though time may have moved on and technology has advanced exponentially since then, there will always be something magical about these relics from our past that continue to captivate our hearts today.
