EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Saffron Walden Station in 1911. The image captures a panoramic view looking northwest from the loading bank towards the goods shed and goods enquiry office. It is a snapshot of an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks, transporting goods and people across the country. In this scene, we can see a variety of railway elements that bring this historic moment to life. A cattle wagon and vent van are stationed at the cattle dock, ready for their next journey. Adjacent to them stands a Great Eastern Railway covered lime wagon, adding a splash of color against the backdrop of industrial buildings. The sepia tones evoke nostalgia as we imagine what it must have been like during those times - hearing the hiss of steam engines, feeling vibrations underfoot as trains passed by, witnessing workers diligently tending to their duties. This print serves as a reminder of how vital railways were for transportation and trade in early 20th century Britain. It showcases not only the physical infrastructure but also sparks our imagination about daily life at Saffron Walden Station over a hundred years ago. Displayed proudly at National Railway Museum's Imagination Works exhibit, this piece invites visitors to step into history and appreciate both the beauty and functionality of our nation's railway heritage.
