EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Bishops Stortford station in all its grandeur. Taken in 1911, it offers a glimpse into the bustling world of early railway transportation. The view is captured from just beyond the end of the down platform, with an island platform visible on the left. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia as steam billows out from a magnificent locomotive that stands proudly at the center of attention. Imagination works indeed! This snapshot takes us back to a time when trains were not just modes of transport but marvels of engineering and symbols of progress. One intriguing detail caught by this photograph is the sleeper boarding between tracks, designed specifically to aid horse shunting. It serves as a reminder that railways were once intricately connected with various forms of transportation, including our loyal equine companions. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and functional aspects of Bishops Stortford station over a century ago. It transports us back to an era when train travel was still relatively new and exciting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece capturing history frozen in time, let's reflect on how far we've come while cherishing these remnants from our past.
