EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the St Agnes railway station in Cornwall, circa 1918. The image, captured by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan during the tumultuous years of the First World War, offers a glimpse into an era long gone. From atop a bridge, we observe the scene below: St Agnes railway station stands before us, seemingly deserted. The absence of bustling crowds and busy platforms evokes a sense of stillness and solitude. It is as if time itself has momentarily paused within these walls. The architectural details of this historic station are beautifully preserved in this photograph. The sturdy stone structure with its arched windows and ornate ironwork exudes an air of elegance and grandeur even amidst its apparent emptiness. Nature gracefully intertwines with man-made structures as ivy delicately drapes over parts of the building, adding a touch of serenity to this poignant composition. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in history, our minds wander to those who may have passed through these very doors during such uncertain times. Perhaps soldiers departing for battle or loved ones anxiously awaiting their return? This image serves as a powerful reminder that beneath its tranquil facade lies stories untold – tales woven into every brick and rail. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable piece allows us to connect with our past; it invites reflection on how far we've come while honoring those who journeyed through these hallowed grounds nearly a century ago.
