EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1911, capturing a mesmerizing view of Ely station. The image showcases the station's northern perspective, with the goods shed standing proudly at the extreme left. Adjacent to it, we can see cattle pens nestled beside an access road, adding a touch of rural charm to this bustling railway hub. As our eyes wander through this historical snapshot, they are immediately drawn towards the left side where a British Petroleum tank wagon stands tall. Its presence reminds us of the vital role that transportation played in facilitating trade and fueling progress during that era. On the right-hand side of this vibrant scene, we encounter two distinct types of carriages. The first is a six-wheel gas-lit main line 3rd class carriage while its companion is a composite carriage. These elegant vehicles were undoubtedly witnesses to countless journeys filled with anticipation and excitement. The sepia tones evoke nostalgia as we imagine steam locomotives chugging along these tracks, connecting people from different corners of England. This photograph serves as a testament to how railways transformed transport and shaped communities throughout history. Preserved by Imagination Works and now housed in the National Railway Museum (NRM), this remarkable piece captures not only an architectural marvel but also tells stories about human connections forged through travel and exploration. Let your imagination soar as you delve into this glimpse into Britain's rich railway heritage.
