EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1876, showcases the grandeur of the Entrance to Euston Square Station in London. At the time, Euston Station was the terminus of the London and North-Western Railway, and this entrance, facing onto Drummond Street, was its most prominent feature. The image reveals the intricate architectural details of the Euston Arch, which was built in 1837 and served as the original entrance to the station. The archway, adorned with elaborate carvings and ornate stonework, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city. The photograph captures the essence of transportation in Victorian London, with horse-drawn carriages and people milling about in the foreground. The railway, a relatively new mode of transport at the time, is evident in the steam train visible in the distance, ready to whisk passengers away to their destinations. The Euston Arch, a symbol of London's industrial and transportation history, was unfortunately demolished in 1961. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic structure. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the station during the Victorian era, making it a fascinating window into London's rich history.
