EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene at Coote & Warrens coal depot, located at the south end of Cambridge station on the down side. The image, taken in 1911, showcases a snapshot of early 20th-century railway operations. In the foreground, we see covered coal sheds towering over stacked heaps of coal on open allotments. This visual juxtaposition highlights the sheer magnitude of this vital energy resource during that era. To the right, GER sidings can be observed, serving as a reminder of the Great Eastern Railway's presence in this industrial landscape. The main focus is drawn towards an impressive steam locomotive stationed near the depot. Its powerful stature exudes strength and reliability—a testament to its role in transporting goods across vast distances. Adjacent to it stands a wagon filled with coal ready for distribution. Notably absent from this photograph are people; however, their absence allows us to fully appreciate and imagine how this location would have been teeming with activity—workers loading wagons or tending to machinery while trains chugged along nearby tracks. This evocative image was captured by Imagination Works and now resides within the National Railway Museum's collection. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich railway heritage and offers viewers a glimpse into an era when steam locomotives were at their peak—an iconic symbol of transportation progress that forever changed our world.
