EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Liverpool Street station, East, around 1911. The image captures a moment frozen in history, as seen from the coal stage near Primrose Street bridge. Platform 18 stretches out beyond a coal wagon, with a distinctive raised water tank marking its end. In the foreground of this bustling scene, we witness an impromptu meeting taking place among members of the Great Eastern Railway staff. A foreman wearing a bowler hat commands attention as he leads the discussion. Their presence adds a sense of human connection amidst the grandeur of this architectural marvel. To the far right stands platform 11 where a main line train awaits passengers for their next adventure. Its imposing presence reminds us of the incredible power and efficiency that railways brought to transportation during this era. This photograph is not just about buildings and engineering; it tells stories of hardworking railway workers who dedicated their lives to keeping these intricate systems running smoothly. It offers us an invaluable glimpse into railway history and serves as a testament to how rail travel transformed society by connecting people across vast distances. As we admire this remarkable snapshot from National Railway Museum's collection, let's appreciate both the physical structures that shaped our past and those unsung heroes who made them come alive through their dedication and expertise.
