EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1960 takes us back to the bustling Carpenters Shop within the Carriage and Wagons Works at Swindon. Stepping into this wooden wonderland, skilled craftsmen dedicated their days to creating a variety of exquisite wooden items for use within the Great Western Railway. In this particular snapshot frozen in time, we witness a talented carpenter meticulously working on a set of wooden drawers destined for a Great Western Railway office. With his steady hands and keen eye for detail, he delicately glides a plane across the surface, shaping each piece with precision and care. The aroma of freshly cut wood permeates the air as sawdust dances in the sunlight streaming through large windows. The shop is filled with an array of tools hanging neatly on pegboards, ready to be wielded by these master artisans. Their expertise lies not only in crafting functional furniture but also in infusing it with elegance that matches the grandeur of railway travel. As we admire this scene captured six decades ago, we are transported back to an era when craftsmanship reigned supreme. Each stroke of the plane represents countless hours spent honing skills passed down through generations. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and dedication to excellence that defined Swindon Works during its heyday. Today, thanks to STEAM Museum's preservation efforts, we can marvel at this snapshot from history and appreciate the immense talent behind every piece created within these hallowed walls.
