Capturing the Nostalgia - Polly the Steam Engine Chugging Along the Liverpool Overhead Railway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print of Polly, a beloved steam engine, as she gracefully moves along the iconic Liverpool Overhead Railway. Built to connect various neighborhoods from Dingle in the south to Seaforth & Litherland in the north, this railway was an integral part of Liverpool's transport system. Taken on 30th September 1957, just days before demolition began, this snapshot immortalizes a bygone era. The image showcases Polly and her dedicated driver navigating through towering structures that once held great significance for locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this scene today, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember witnessing these majestic trains gliding above their heads. The demolition process commenced on 23rd September 1957 and within a few short months, all traces of the elevated track were gone by January of the following year. This picture serves as a poignant reminder of how swiftly progress can erase cherished landmarks from our urban landscapes. Transport enthusiasts and history buffs will appreciate adding this remarkable piece to their collection. With its authentic vintage charm and rich historical context, it offers a window into Liverpool's past while celebrating both the beauty of steam-powered locomotives and our enduring fascination with rail travel.
