EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1933 showcases The Oaks station, located in Bolton, on the London Midland and Scottish Railway (formerly known as Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway). The image provides a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic railway station. The photograph captures a picturesque view of the station, with its distinct architecture standing proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery. As we gaze towards Bolton, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent footbridge that spans across the tracks. Beyond it stands The Oaks signal box, a structure steeped in history since its construction in 1875. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when steam trains were at their peak, chugging along these very tracks. It transports us back to a time when train travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about experiencing the charm and elegance associated with railways. This particular print is significant as it documents an important moment in time – August 4th, 1933 – when plans for a pump near The Oaks station were being considered. It serves as a reminder of how every detail related to railway infrastructure was meticulously planned and executed. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of The Oaks station within Britain's railway heritage.
