EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 showcases the bustling scene at Ely, located at the north end of the station. The focal point is the Station North signal box, standing proudly by a level crossing and underbridge that passes beneath the end of the down platform. Behind this impressive structure, extensive covered coal sheds can be seen, with a coal drop visible just above a nostalgic Bovril sign. The photograph beautifully captures an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks. A magnificent locomotive stands majestically on one of the platforms, emanating power and strength. Passengers eagerly await their departure or arrival as they navigate through this vibrant railway hub. Every detail in this image tells a story about transport history - from the water crane serving passengers on the down platform to its central location within Ely's railway network. This snapshot freezes time and allows us to step back into an age where trains were not only means of transportation but also symbols of progress and adventure. Preserved by imagination works and now housed in National Railway Museum (NRM), this print serves as a reminder of how railways shaped our world. It invites us to appreciate both their functional importance and aesthetic charm while reminding us not to overlook their significance beyond commercial use.
