EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Frome Station in Somerset, circa 1970. The image showcases the remarkable architectural feat of the overall roof, a masterpiece designed by none other than J R Hannaford, assistant to the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Frome Station has a rich history, having opened its doors in 1850 and still standing proudly today as one of Britain's few remaining stations with a timber through train shed. This unique feature adds to its allure and makes it all the more special. The Grade II listed station is beautifully captured in this photograph, offering us a glimpse into its past glory. The timber train shed stretches across the scene, providing shelter for passengers and trains alike. Its intricate design reflects both functionality and elegance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such an architectural marvel. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity of those who came before us. Thanks to STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), we are able to relish this visual time capsule that transports us back to an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and stations were bustling hubs of activity. Let this print serve as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and inspire future generations with its timeless beauty.
