EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 takes us back in time to Cambridge station, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of early 20th-century railways. The view from the station platform looking East reveals an intricate network of tracks, with two curved sidings crossing over the main lines. These sidings align perfectly with the old Newmarket line, which once served as stock sidings. The architecture surrounding the railway is equally intriguing. The buildings captured in this image are believed to be stables, adding a touch of rustic charm to this industrial scene. As we marvel at this snapshot frozen in time, it's easy to imagine horses being led through these stables while steam locomotives hiss and chug nearby. Advertisements dotting the walls hint at a vibrant commercial atmosphere that must have permeated Cambridge station during its heyday. This print not only showcases a momentous era for transportation but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. Preserved by Imagination Works and now housed within the National Railway Museum (NRM), this historical artifact allows us to appreciate how far we've come since those sepia-toned days. It reminds us that behind every modern train journey lies an extensive history shaped by countless individuals who dedicated their lives to connecting people and places through rail transport.
