Lost in Time - Boscarne Exchange Platform, Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back into the late 1960s with this print of the short-lived Boscarne Exchange Platform. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall, this disused platform tells a story of bygone days and forgotten memories. Opened to the public in 1964, Boscarne Exchange Platform was once a bustling hub for railway enthusiasts and travelers alike. However, its glory was fleeting as it closed its doors on that fateful day - April 18th, 1966. Now captured in this image is a hauntingly beautiful scene where nature has reclaimed what was once man-made. Overgrown vegetation now blankets the platform's surface, intertwining with remnants of railway tracks that were once traversed by countless trains. The passage of time is evident through rusted signs and weathered structures that stand as silent witnesses to an era long gone. This print from STEAM Museum of GWR transports us back to an age when steam engines ruled the rails and train journeys were filled with anticipation and excitement. It serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly progress can fade away but also celebrates the enduring beauty found within abandoned places. Let your imagination wander as you gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time – envisioning passengers boarding trains bound for distant destinations or locals bidding farewell to loved ones. This photograph captures not just a physical location but also evokes emotions and narratives waiting to be discovered within its frame.
