The arrival at Weedon Park Station, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The arrival at Weedon Park Station, 1844. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were the guests of the Marquis of Exeter, at Burghley House in Lincolnshire. Local dignitaries and crowds of people greet them as they ride through a festal arch in their honour, after arriving by train. On leaving the station, the Royal cortege drove slowly through the village of Weedon, over the principal street of which an unpretending arch, composed of evergreens, was thrown. The inhabitants were all at their doors and windows, and as the Queen and the Prince passed, they joined in loyal vociferations in honour of the Royal pair.
