EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1930, capturing a nostalgic glimpse of Calton Jail from Waverley Railway Station in Edinburgh. The image exudes a sense of history and transports us to a bygone era, where cities were adorned with architectural marvels that stood as silent witnesses to the past. The imposing Calton Jail dominates the frame, its formidable structure evoking both curiosity and trepidation. Its towering walls seem to hold countless stories within them, tales of prisoners who once resided behind those bars. This photograph serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich heritage, showcasing one of its most notorious prisons. From the vantage point at Waverley Railway Station, we witness an intersection between two significant aspects of urban life: railways and prisons. The juxtaposition is striking; on one hand, we have the symbol of progress represented by the railway station - bustling with activity and connecting people across vast distances. On the other hand, there lies Calton Jail - a stark reminder of society's darker side. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts contemplation about how our cities have evolved over decades. It encourages reflection on how societies grapple with their past while striving for progress in an ever-changing world. This historic print from The Northcliffe Collection encapsulates not only Scotland's architectural beauty but also invites us to delve into deeper narratives surrounding crime and punishment during the 1930s – offering viewers an opportunity to connect with history
