EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a serene summer day in August 1937. The image showcases the iconic Shaldon Bridge gracefully stretching across the picturesque estuary of River Teign, with the charming village of Shaldon nestled in the distance. The bridge, an architectural marvel of its time, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. Its elegant structure harmoniously blends with nature's beauty, creating a scene that is both awe-inspiring and tranquil. The shimmering waters below reflect the warm sunlight, casting a golden glow on this idyllic landscape. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where life moved at a slower pace. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when communities thrived along riverside settlements like Shaldon. One can almost imagine locals strolling leisurely across the bridge or enjoying lazy afternoons by the water's edge. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our connection to our past and how it shapes our present. It invites us to appreciate both natural wonders and man-made achievements that have stood strong through generations. In preserving such precious glimpses into history, institutions like STEAM Museum ensure that these memories continue to inspire and educate future generations about our rich heritage.
