What is the Great Western Railway Garter Crest?
The Great Western Railway's Garter Crest is just one of the many logo designs to have appeared on GWR locomotives and coaches.
The Garter Crest was one of the first logo designs to appear on GWR rolling stock, first appearing in the late 1870s, the crest survived (all be it with minor variations) until 1927 when it was superseded by a newer, simpler crest.
The crest is of intricate design and features the words 'GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY' displayed around the outside of the circular design with the double shields of London and Bristol exhibited in the centre.
The crest was used primarily on tender engines and was initially displayed on the wheel splashers of locomotives, from 1908 onwards the crest also began to appear on tenders. First-class coaches carried the crest from 1880 until 1927 with third-class coaches also receiving the crest from around 1908.
