Here is an example of a very good quality antique Welsh Victorian pitch pine railway station bench, circa 1880, in good original condition. Constructed of solid pitch pine, the bench features a fixed horizontal bar back that is supported by sturdy cast iron upright arms. Likewise, the seat is constructed of solid pitch pine and features a concave shape for comfortable seating. The ends of the seat and bar back are chamfered.
