This vintage luggage label offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of British rail travel. Issued by the Southern Region of British Railways, it served to direct parcels or luggage to Barnstaple Junction, a significant interchange point in its era. Such labels were an essential part of the railway system, ensuring efficient delivery across the network. It's a wonderful piece for collectors of railwayana, historical ephemera, or those interested in transport history. Features original "SOUTHERN BRITISH RAILWAYS SOUTHERN REGION" branding. Clearly displays the destination "TO BARNSTAPLE JUNC.". Marked with "Stock 787" and production code "(10/48)", likely indicating October 1948.
