EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the 1930s and given a glimpse into the bustling No 9 Carriage Trimming Shop. Two remarkable ladies take center stage as they skillfully weave intricate luggage racks for carriages built at Swindon Works. Their presence in this male-dominated industry is a testament to their exceptional dexterity and talent. As we observe these women engrossed in their work, it becomes evident that they were an integral part of the workforce at Swindon Works. The majority of female employees were assigned roles that demanded precision and expertise, showcasing their indispensable contribution to the success of carriage production. The atmosphere within No 9 Shop must have been filled with camaraderie and determination as these women collaborated on creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing luggage racks. Their nimble fingers deftly maneuvering through threads, weaving together a piece that would enhance passengers' travel experience. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how women played an often overlooked role in shaping our transportation history. It highlights not only their resilience but also challenges traditional gender norms prevalent during that era. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we celebrate these unsung heroines who left an indelible mark on Swindon Works and beyond.
