EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the grand opening day of Padstow railway station on 27th March 1899. A large gathering of esteemed dignitaries eagerly awaits the arrival of the first train, marking a momentous occasion for this Cornish town. The station's awning is adorned with vibrant flags and bunting, adding an air of festivity to the scene. Situated 259 3/4 miles from Waterloo, Padstow served as the western terminus for the North Cornwall Railway and was operated by the London and South Western Railway. This new railway connection brought about a long-awaited era of prosperity for Padstow. With a fish store and market conveniently located near the station, locally caught fish could now be transported far and wide, expanding trade opportunities for fishermen. A year after its inauguration, another symbol of progress emerged in close proximity to Padstow railway station -the magnificent Metropole Hotel. Overlooking the bustling hub of activity at the station, it opened its doors to guests seeking comfort and luxury. This remarkable photograph captures not only a significant moment in history but also showcases how transportation infrastructure can transform communities. Preserved by time yet brimming with life from over a century ago, this image offers us glimpses into an era when railways were catalysts for growth and development.
