EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to St Clears Station in Wales, during a warm July day in 1958. The station building stands proudly, showcasing its unique feature - cast iron lions heads that adorn the edge of the canopy. These majestic lion sculptures add an intriguing touch to this historic railway landmark. St Clears Station has a rich history, having opened its doors to passengers in January 1854. For over a century, it served as a vital transportation hub for locals and visitors alike. However, by June 1964, the station sadly closed its operations. The photograph captures not only the architectural beauty of St Clears Station but also provides a glimpse into daily life during the 1950s. Passengers can be seen waiting on the platform under the sheltered canopy, perhaps eagerly anticipating their journey or bidding farewell to loved ones. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how railways have played an essential role in connecting communities throughout history. This image serves as both a nostalgic tribute to St Clears Station's past and a testament to our enduring fascination with preserving these remarkable glimpses into our shared heritage.
