EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bustling workshop in 1907. The image showcases No 17 Shop, Road Vehicle Shop, where both horse-drawn and motor vehicles were meticulously built or repaired. A fascinating blend of tradition and innovation unfolds before our eyes as we witness the coexistence of these two modes of transportation. The shop's skilled craftsmen can be seen diligently working on various vehicles that catered to different needs. From elegant coaches and sturdy wagons to nimble carts, each creation was a testament to their craftsmanship and attention to detail. However, it is the emergence of motor vehicles that truly captures our imagination. Amongst them are omnibuses, which played an integral role in the GWR road passenger service since its inception in 1903. These magnificent machines symbolize progress and modernity as they stand side by side with their equine counterparts. Transportation enthusiasts will revel in this snapshot from history, relishing the opportunity to witness Swindon Works' carriage works at its prime. This Edwardian-era photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into an era when horses still trotted alongside early automobiles on city streets. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved within a single frame, let us appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging the ingenuity required for such advancements during those pioneering years.
