EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Bodmin Road Station, captured around 1895. Transport yourself to the late 19th century as you gaze upon this historical snapshot of Cornwall's railway history. Located at the junction of the Bodmin to Wadebridge Railway, Bodmin Road Station opened its doors in 1859 near the magnificent Lanhydrock House, which is now a cherished National Trust property. This station served as a vital link for passengers traveling through the picturesque Cornish countryside. As you admire this image, imagine steam trains chugging along these tracks, filling the air with their rhythmic sounds and billowing smoke. Passengers bustling about on platforms, eagerly awaiting their next adventure or perhaps returning home after an eventful journey. However, like many other stations across Britain, passenger services ceased in 1967 due to changing times and transportation preferences. In 1983, it underwent a name change to become known as Bodmin Parkway. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage that railways hold within our society. It allows us to reflect on how transportation has evolved over decades while appreciating the beauty and significance of places like Bodmin Road Station. Displaying this piece will transport any viewer into an era filled with nostalgia and wonderment—a true treasure for railway enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
