EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a significant moment in history - the construction of Fishguard Harbour Station in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The image showcases the sheer magnitude of this ambitious project that would soon become a vital transportation hub for the region. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an army of workers diligently toiling away amidst towering cranes and scaffolding. Their dedication is palpable as they lay down tracks and build what will soon be known as Fishguard Harbour Station. This bustling scene exudes a sense of anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead. Located on the picturesque Pembrokeshire coast, this station was destined to play a crucial role in connecting Wales with Rosslare, Ireland via its nearby ferry port. Little did those involved know at that time just how integral this station would become in facilitating trade, travel, and cultural exchange between these two nations. Over a century later, Fishguard Harbour Station still stands proudly as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It continues to serve its purpose faithfully by welcoming passengers from near and far who embark on their journeys across land or sea. This remarkable print not only captures an important milestone in Welsh history but also serves as a reminder of our ability to shape our surroundings through determination and hard work.
