EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in 1956, we are transported back to the bustling Central Station in Glasgow. Porters John Healy and Robert White take a momentary break from their sweeping duties, leaning on their brooms as they gaze curiously at the new addition to their cleaning arsenal - the magpie sweeper. The image perfectly encapsulates a bygone era when railway stations were not only gateways to distant destinations but also vibrant hubs of activity. As driver Alfred Warner zooms past in his vehicle, the scene is filled with an air of camaraderie and shared curiosity. It's evident that these dedicated staff members took pride in maintaining cleanliness within the station premises, ensuring a pleasant experience for all travelers passing through. The photo serves as a nostalgic reminder of Scotland's rich rail history during the mid-20th century. Glasgow Central Station stands tall as an architectural marvel while providing employment opportunities for individuals like Healy and White who diligently carried out their roles as porters. Memory Lane Prints has once again unearthed a gem from our collective memory, allowing us to appreciate the unsung heroes behind every successful journey taken by train. This print beautifully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our railways running smoothly.
