EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to a bygone era, specifically Keynsham Station in Somerset around 1900. The image beautifully captures the essence of this bustling railway hub, showcasing the grand station building and its platforms. Keynsham Station holds a significant place in history as it first opened its doors to eager travelers in August 1840. This momentous occasion marked the completion of the railway line connecting Bristol and Bath, revolutionizing transportation between these two vibrant cities. The station's architecture exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was typical of Victorian-era train stations. Its sturdy construction stands as a testament to both engineering prowess and aesthetic charm. The platforms are abuzz with activity, bustling with passengers eagerly awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. One notable feature captured in this photograph is the footbridge that spans across the tracks, providing convenient access for commuters moving between platforms. This architectural marvel not only adds visual interest but also serves as a reminder of how infrastructure evolved over time to accommodate growing demands. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to an era when steam locomotives ruled supreme and train travel was at its zenith.
