This print showcases the historic "G. W. R Dawlish New Sea Wall General Plan and Elevation Drawing No. 1" from 1901, a significant milestone in railway infrastructure. The image transports us back to an era when the Great Western Railway (G. W. R) was undertaking ambitious projects to protect its tracks along the scenic coastal town of Dawlish. The drawing itself is a testament to meticulous planning and engineering prowess, depicting a comprehensive general plan and elevation of the new sea wall. It serves as a visual blueprint for constructing this vital structure that would shield the railway line from relentless waves crashing against it. The significance of this particular project cannot be overstated. The G. W. R's commitment to ensuring safe and reliable transportation is evident in their efforts to fortify vulnerable sections like Dawlish against nature's forces. This photograph captures not only technical details but also represents an important chapter in British rail history. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate the dedication and ingenuity behind such endeavors that have shaped our modern railways. Network Rail presents this print as a tribute to those who worked tirelessly over a century ago, leaving an indelible mark on our nation's transport infrastructure
