EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Newton Abbot Station in Devon during the year 1945. The scene showcases Southern Railway locomotive No. 1848, proudly standing at the platform, ready to embark on its next journey. The station, located in the heart of Devon, underwent an extensive extension and rebuild between the wars, opening in April 1927. Designed by the renowned architect Culverhouse, the station building boasted a modern and stylish appearance, a stark contrast to the rustic charm of the surrounding countryside. The year 1945 marked a significant period in the history of Newton Abbot Station, as the country was recovering from the devastating effects of World War II. The station, much like the rest of the country, was adapting to the changing times. The Southern Railway locomotive, a symbol of the era, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people during those challenging times. The photograph transports us back to a bygone era, where steam trains ruled the rails and the simple pleasure of travel by train was a cherished experience. The station, with its elegant design and the powerful locomotive, stands as a reminder of the rich railway heritage that Devon and the South West possess. This photograph, a precious piece of history, invites us to imagine the stories that unfolded at Newton Abbot Station during the 1940s.
