EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the Goods Shed of Leicester's London And North West Railway Company. Taken in 1927, it showcases a bustling scene within the Carmichaels Farm depot located at No 2 Shed on Sussex Street. A group of hardworking men can be seen diligently moving a crate filled with an abundance of fresh produce, their strength and determination evident in their focused expressions. The image offers a glimpse into the daily operations of this vital railway hub, where goods were transported and stored before being distributed across the region. The sheer scale of activity is awe-inspiring as crates upon crates are stacked high against the backdrop of this industrial warehouse. Today, this historic site has undergone transformation and now serves as a modern-day warehouse. However, its rich heritage remains intact through photographs like these that allow us to appreciate its significance in shaping Leicester's past. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print not only documents an era long gone but also pays homage to the dedicated individuals who played an integral role in keeping our transportation networks running smoothly. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who laid the foundation for our present-day logistics systems.
