EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of G. W. R. Bourne End Station in 1893, showcasing its new platform coverings, waiting shed, and urinals. The image takes us back to a time when railway stations were not just functional spaces but architectural marvels that blended seamlessly with their surroundings. The newly installed platform coverings stand tall and proud, providing shelter for passengers from rain or shine. Their intricate design showcases the craftsmanship of the era and adds an elegant touch to the station's overall aesthetic. Adjacent to these coverings is a charming waiting shed where weary travelers could find respite while awaiting their trains. In this snapshot of history, even the smallest details matter – like the presence of urinals discreetly tucked away in one corner. These facilities demonstrate how railway companies strived to provide comfort and convenience for all passengers. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time; we can almost hear the hustle and bustle of steam engines arriving and departing from this picturesque station. It serves as a reminder that railways have always been more than just transportation systems – they are symbols of progress, connecting people across vast distances. Network Rail preserves such images not merely for commercial purposes but also as a testament to our rich heritage. This particular print allows us to appreciate the meticulous attention given to every aspect of G. W. R Bourne End Station's construction during that bygone era - an enduring legacy still admired today.
