EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the camaraderie and triumph of the Drawing Office Tennis Team from Swindon Works in 1934. Proudly posing together, this group of talented individuals had just secured victory in the highly esteemed Cookson Cup, an inter-company competition that showcased their exceptional skills on the tennis court. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where railway sport was not only a means of recreation but also a source of pride for those involved. The team members are dressed impeccably in their tennis whites, exuding both elegance and determination. Amongst them stands George Ernest Langrish, positioned second from the right. His presence is notable as he played an instrumental role in securing this momentous victory. Swindon Works was renowned for its contribution to railway engineering during this period, but it is heartening to see that these skilled professionals found time to engage in sporting activities outside their demanding work schedules. This photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and teamwork both on and off the field. Preserved at STEAM Museum of the GWR, this print offers us a glimpse into history – capturing not only a significant sporting achievement but also showcasing the vibrant spirit within Swindon Works during the 1930s.
