EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Haverfordwest Railway Station in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, circa 1900. The up platform is filled with eager passengers, all dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, waiting for the 1040 train to Paddington. The Great Western Railway (GWR) company's ornate signage is proudly displayed, a testament to the grandeur of the Victorian era. In the background, the bridge arching over the tracks adds to the sense of history and tradition. The iron footbridge, with its intricate lattice design, leads to the down platform, where goods wagons and stationary carriages can be seen. The steam engine, with its billowing smoke and hissing whistle, is a sight and sound that would have been a common occurrence during this period. The passengers, mostly women and children, clutch their return tickets, the cost of which would have been three pounds, twelve shillings and sixpence. The ticket price, written in old currency, is a reminder of the economic climate of the time. The station, with its red-brick buildings and meticulously maintained tracks and rails, is a testament to the importance of the railway as a means of transport during this era. The Haverfordwest Railway Station, with its rich history and charming ambiance, continues to be a popular destination for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This photograph, with its intricate details and captivating story, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of transport in Wales and beyond.
