EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1913 takes us back in time to Formby station, located on the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. The image showcases an overbridge that stands tall and proud, serving as a gateway to this bustling transportation hub. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn towards the road leading up to the station, where two elegant horse-drawn carriages patiently await their passengers. The attention to detail is remarkable; telegraph poles and wires stretch across the sky before any alterations were made. These intricate elements remind us of a bygone era when communication relied heavily on these physical connections. The composition of this photograph is truly stunning. The view looks westward along the road near Formby station, capturing not only its architectural beauty but also offering a glimpse into daily life at that time. It transports us back to February 28th, 1913 – a day frozen in history. As we admire this print from the National Railway Museum's collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements and transportation systems. This snapshot encapsulates an era when horses still played an integral role alongside emerging railway networks. While commercial use may be prohibited for this particular image, its historical significance remains undeniable. It allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how much progress has been achieved since then.
