EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the picturesque town of Lechlade-on-Thames, as captured by a GWR Publicity view in September 1948. This stunning print showcases the iconic Halfpenny Bridge gracefully spanning over the tranquil River Thames. Nestled near the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, this charming bridge and its toll house have stood as a testament to history since their opening to traffic way back in 1792. The sepia-toned image exudes an air of nostalgia, evoking memories of late summer days and autumnal hues. The bridge's architectural beauty is highlighted against the backdrop of lush greenery that lines both sides of the riverbank. Its Grade II listed status adds further significance to this historical gem. As you gaze upon this scene, imagine yourself strolling along its worn cobblestones or perhaps paying your halfpenny toll at the quaint little toll house nearby. Feel transported to a simpler era when steam trains chugged through these very tracks, connecting towns and communities across Britain. This remarkable photograph from STEAM Museum allows us to glimpse into a bygone era, capturing not only the physical structure but also preserving a slice of British heritage for generations to come. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there are timeless treasures like Lechlade Halfpenny Bridge that continue to stand strong.
