EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque village of Horrabridge, Devon, with this print captured in August 1954. The image offers a nostalgic glimpse into the golden era of railway travel, as seen from the window of a passing train carriage. The scene showcases Horrabridge Station in all its glory, complete with its charming platform, station building, and iconic signal box. Horrabridge Station holds a rich history dating back to its opening on the South Devon and Tavistock Railway in 1859. Serving as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike, it witnessed countless journeys filled with anticipation and farewells brimming with emotion. However, by 1962, this beloved station bid farewell to passenger services. The photograph beautifully encapsulates an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and train travel was at its peak. It transports us back to a simpler time when passengers would eagerly await their trains on this very platform or wave goodbye to loved ones departing on their own adventures. This remarkable snapshot serves as both a testament to our railway heritage and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the nostalgia of yesteryears. A true gem from STEAM Museum of GWR's collection that allows us to witness firsthand how railways played an integral role in shaping communities like Horrabridge.
