EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exterior of Taunton Station in Somerset during the 1950s. The station building stands proudly, showcasing its unique design that was initially established when it opened its doors to the public in July 1842. However, due to a surge in train services and passenger numbers, Taunton Station underwent a reconstruction project in 1868. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty of the station but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. A number of cars are parked outside the station building, representing the evolving transportation landscape of the time. These motorcars add an intriguing contrast against the backdrop of traditional railway infrastructure. Taunton Station has long been an important hub for travelers and commuters alike. Its rich history is evident through its transformation over time to accommodate growing demands within Somerset's transport network. This print serves as a visual testament to both progress and preservation. As part of STEAM Museum's collection dedicated to preserving Great Western Railway heritage, this image allows viewers to step back into an era where steam locomotives shared space with emerging automobile technology. It offers a nostalgic journey through time while highlighting how transportation has shaped our society throughout history.
