VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image depicts an aged architectural drawing or blueprint of the "G. W. R. New Station at Cheltenham. " The Great Western Railway (GWR) was a British railway company that linked London with the southwest and west of England, as well as Wales. The drawing features detailed elevations of both the platform level and ground level structures. At the top, we see a side elevation view showing a long building with multiple windows and doors, typical for train station architecture during the period when GWR was active (1833-1947). Below this is a cross-section labeled "Section on Line A-B, " which provides insight into how parts of the structure would be constructed in relation to each other. The bottom part of the drawing shows another side elevation view but from ground level, indicating separate entrances for different classes—evident by labels such as "2nd Class Entrance" and "Booking Office"—reflecting class distinctions common in travel accommodations during that era. The document appears worn and torn on its right edge, suggesting considerable age or frequent handling over time. Despite some damage to the paper, it remains a fascinating historical artifact illustrating 19th-century railway architecture design practices in Britain.
