EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1911, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of Ely's railway station. As we stand at the starter signal, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent view that unfolds before us. Looking northwards, we witness an enchanting scene filled with various elements of railway infrastructure and natural beauty. The level crossing stretches out beneath our gaze, serving as a gateway between two worlds - one dominated by steam locomotives and transport, and the other by nature's serene presence. To our left stands a cluster of coal sheds, their darkened silhouettes contrasting against the vibrant greenery surrounding them. Beyond these structures lies a horse box patiently waiting in the headshunt area while overlooking it all is the majestic River Ouse bridge. The image captures not only the physical aspects of this historic location but also sparks our imagination about what life was like during those times. We can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of trains passing through and feel a sense of anticipation for journeys yet to be taken. Preserved within this print is not just a snapshot frozen in time but also an invitation to explore history through its intricate details. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating vast networks of transportation while harmoniously coexisting with nature's grandeur. Displayed proudly at National Railway Museum, this photograph reminds us how railways have shaped societies and continues to inspire awe even today.
