This print takes us back to the bustling Reading Station in Berkshire, circa 1994. The image showcases the main concourse of this iconic transportation hub, revealing a glimpse into its rich history and architectural design. Having undergone redevelopment in 1989, the station boasts a modernized look that perfectly captures the essence of the late 20th century. The photograph highlights one of the most striking features of this redeveloped station: a set of escalators leading up to platforms 5 to 10. These escalators not only serve as functional means for commuters but also add an element of grandeur and sophistication to the overall aesthetic appeal. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryears, it becomes evident that Reading Station was more than just a transit point; it was also a vibrant retail destination. The presence of various shops and stores within its premises adds an air of liveliness and convenience for passengers passing through. With its well-preserved architecture and thoughtful redesign, Reading Station stands as both a testament to progress and an embodiment of nostalgia. This print serves as a window into an era when train travel was at its peak, capturing moments frozen in time within these walls. Displayed proudly at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this photograph offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while appreciating the intricate details that make Reading Station such an integral part of British railway heritage.
