EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of London in the early 1900s with this print from STEAM Museum of the GWR. Captured at Paddington Mint Stables around 1910, this image showcases a remarkable horse-drawn delivery wagon ready for its daily journey. Intriguingly, a team of four majestic dray horses stand poised and harnessed, their strength evident as they prepare to pull the iconic GWR cart. Laden with barrels and bundles containing an array of goods, it is clear that this wagon played a vital role in delivering essential supplies throughout the city. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation; one can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestone streets and feel the energy emanating from Paddington Station nearby. The stately architecture surrounding the stables serves as a reminder of London's rich history. This snapshot transports us to an era when horsepower was literal rather than metaphorical. It reminds us how transportation relied on these magnificent creatures who tirelessly carried out their duties day after day. As we admire this glimpse into our past, let us appreciate not only the craftsmanship displayed by those who built such wagons but also pay homage to these loyal equine companions who were integral to everyday life in early 20th century London.
