EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the charm and character of the Railway Station in Shrewsbury, dating back to 1849. Designed by architect Thomas Mainwaring Penson, this station was a joint operation between the Great Western Railway and the London and North Western Railway. The building's imitation Tudor style, complete with carvings of Tudor heads around the window frames, reflects the historical architecture of Shrewsbury School.
Published in August 1849 by Sandford and Howell, this print showcases the intricate details of the station building drawn by I.N. Henshaw and lithographed by J.W. Giles. The bustling scene depicted includes passengers carrying luggage, horses waiting outside for transportation, and several people going about their daily activities at the station.
Located in Telford, Shropshire, UK, this piece from the Elton Collection at Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust offers a glimpse into 19th-century railway travel in England's West Midlands region. The nostalgic atmosphere captured in this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when railways were essential modes of transport connecting communities across the country.
