EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a glimpse of The Oaks station on the Bolton, Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. Situated between Bolton and Bromley Cross in Lancashire, this historic station was an essential hub for rail transport in the United Kingdom. The photograph showcases a picturesque view of the station, with its charming architecture and bustling atmosphere. As our eyes wander towards the background, we catch sight of the iconic 1875 signal box named The Oaks. This structure stands tall as a testament to the railway's rich history. Sadly, like many other stations across the country, The Oaks closed its doors on November 6th, 1950. However, through this image captured by Imagination Works and preserved by the National Railway Museum (NRM), we can still appreciate its significance today. Transport enthusiasts will undoubtedly be drawn to this remarkable piece of railway heritage. It serves as a reminder of how trains connected communities and facilitated travel during an era long gone but not forgotten. Whether you're intrigued by Lancashire's industrial past or simply captivated by vintage rail transport imagery, this print offers a fascinating window into history. So take a step back in time with this evocative snapshot from Sep13 at NRM - it's sure to ignite your imagination!
