EDITORS COMMENTS
Bridgend Station, South Wales (circa 1850): A Window into the Past This lithograph print transports us back in time to Bridgend Station in South Wales, as it appeared around 1850. The station, located in the town of Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, opened its doors to the public in June of that year, marking an essential milestone in the development of the railways in Wales. The intricate details of this lithograph reveal a bustling scene of activity. Steam trains, puffing out plumes of smoke, are positioned at the platform, ready to depart or arrive. Passengers, both men and women, can be seen milling about, some carrying luggage or engaging in conversation. The station building, with its distinctive red-brick façade and tall, arched windows, stands proudly in the background. The lush, green landscape surrounding the station adds to the idyllic setting. Trees line the approach to the station, and in the distance, the rolling hills of the Welsh countryside can be glimpsed. The River Ogmore, which runs nearby, is a tranquil presence, adding to the serene atmosphere. This lithograph print, a reproduction of an original from the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It provides a tangible connection to a bygone era, when the arrival of the railway transformed the way people travelled and connected communities across South Wales and beyond. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to a time when the world moved a little slower, and the simple joy of travel by steam train was a source of excitement and adventure.
