EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back in time to 1911, capturing a moment at Bishops Stortford station. The view is facing north at London Bridge over the railway line, offering a glimpse into the bustling activity of this historic transportation hub. In the foreground, we see an impressive steam locomotive chugging along the tracks, its billowing smoke adding to the nostalgic atmosphere. The train appears ready for departure, with passengers eagerly waiting on the platform beyond the bridge. It's fascinating to note that this particular platform belongs to Bishops Stortford station's up platform. To the extreme left of the image, there is another set of tracks serving maltings (later transformed into a timber yard). This detail adds depth and character to an already vibrant scene. The print invites us to imagine what life was like during this era of rail travel. It sparks curiosity about who might have been aboard that train and where their journeys would take them. It also serves as a reminder of how vital railways were in connecting communities and facilitating trade across Britain. Immerse yourself in history with this remarkable snapshot from Bishops Stortford station – a testament to both human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with locomotion.
