EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the rainy day of October 29,1929, at Manchester Central station. The Cheshire Lines Committee's grand station frontage is beautifully captured from Windmill Street, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of rail transport in early 20th century United Kingdom. Despite the rain pouring down, this image exudes an undeniable charm. The covered way leading to the iconic Midland Hotel stands on the left side, providing shelter for passengers as they make their way through this architectural marvel. It's almost as if you can hear the sound of trains arriving and departing in the background. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable – every brick and window pane tells a story of a bygone era when train travel was not only practical but also glamorous. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates that sense of nostalgia and wonder associated with railway journeys. Preserved by Imagination Works and now part of the National Railway Museum collection, this piece offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and witness history unfold before our eyes. Whether you're a railway enthusiast or simply appreciate stunning photography, this print will transport you to another time where steam engines ruled supreme and stations like Manchester Central were gateways to adventure.
