EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of the Radford and Timsbury Halt in Somerset, circa 1910. Nestled between Hallatrow and Camerton, this small station served as a vital link for commuters during its short-lived existence. Opening its doors to the public in May 1910, it provided a convenient stop along the railway line. However, the outbreak of World War I forced its closure in 1915, leaving behind memories of bustling platforms and eager travelers. Despite facing adversity, this humble halt managed to reopen its doors in 1923. Unfortunately, fate was not on its side as it closed down again just two years later. The pagoda-style shelter seen in the photograph stands tall amidst lush greenery, serving as a testament to an era long gone. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when steam trains chugged through picturesque landscapes while passengers eagerly awaited their next adventure or reunion with loved ones. It is a reminder that even seemingly insignificant stations hold stories worth preserving. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history at STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to an era where train travel held great significance and charm. Let us cherish these remnants of our past and honor those who worked tirelessly to keep our railways running smoothly.
