EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lostwithiel Goods Shed in Cornwall during the 1970s, offering a vivid glimpse into its rich history. Lostwithiel, which first opened its doors in 1859, played a vital role as part of the Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway. However, it wasn't until 1869 that goods traffic was introduced to this bustling station. The image reveals an enchanting view of the goods shed adorned with vibrant colors, providing a nostalgic snapshot of a bygone era. Steeped in heritage and character, this structure served as a hub for transporting various commodities throughout Cornwall. Interestingly, between 1880 and 1895, Lostwithiel experienced a temporary halt in its goods traffic operations. Nevertheless, it persevered through these challenges and continued to serve as an essential link within the region's transportation network. Sadly, after more than a century of service to both passengers and freight alike, Lostwithiel Station ceased all operations in 1964. This poignant photograph immortalizes not only the physical presence of this disused station but also pays homage to the countless stories woven into its walls. Preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this remarkable print invites us to reflect on our ever-evolving world while cherishing the remnants of our past.
