EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1870, showcasing the proposed refreshment room at Bodmin Road on the Cornwall Railway. The intricate drawings displayed here reveal elevations, sections, and plans of this historic station. The image transports us to an era when rail travel was rapidly expanding across Britain, connecting towns and cities like never before. The proposed refreshment room at Bodmin Road Station stands as a testament to the growing importance of railway stations as social hubs where passengers could relax and replenish themselves during their journeys. The attention to detail in these drawings is remarkable; every architectural element is meticulously depicted, from the grand entrance with its ornate arches to the large windows that flood the interior with natural light. One can almost imagine bustling crowds entering through those doors or enjoying a warm cup of tea while waiting for their trains. While we cannot witness this particular refreshment room's final realization due to missing information about commercial use, it serves as a poignant reminder of how railway stations have always been more than mere transportation hubs. They are places where stories unfold, friendships form, and memories are made – spaces that encapsulate both practicality and charm. Thanks to Network Rail's preservation efforts through this print collection, we can marvel at historical treasures like these drawings today. It allows us not only to appreciate our rich railway heritage but also sparks curiosity about what life was like during those transformative times when railways were shaping our world.
