EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1920s, showcasing a colour tinted image of Box Tunnel. The iconic tunnel, located in Wiltshire, stands as a testament to the engineering marvels of the Great Western Railway (GWR). With its grand portal and sturdy tracks disappearing into the darkness, this photograph captures both the beauty and mystique of this historical landmark. The vibrant hues added through colour tinting bring life to an era long gone. It allows us to envision how this bustling railway would have appeared during its heyday. As our eyes wander along the tracks leading towards the tunnel's entrance, we can almost hear the distant rumble of wagons carrying goods and passengers alike. Box Tunnel holds a special place in history as one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's remarkable achievements. Its construction was no small feat; it required immense skill and determination from countless workers who laboured tirelessly to carve out this passage beneath Box Hill. While we admire this stunning photograph, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate it for what it truly represents: a glimpse into an era when railways were at their zenith and Box Tunnel stood proudly as an emblem of progress and innovation. Thanks to STEAM Museum of GWR for preserving such valuable artifacts that allow us to connect with our past and celebrate human ingenuity.
