EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1959, when British Rail (LMR) commissioned a poster by Greene to promote train services to the enchanting Whalley Abbey. Nestled near Blackburn, Lancashire, this 13th-century Cistercian abbey stands as a testament to both religious devotion and architectural grandeur. The image transports us into a world of tranquility and spiritual contemplation. The imposing stone walls of Whalley Abbey rise majestically against the backdrop of lush greenery, inviting visitors on a journey through time. Its intricate Gothic details are beautifully captured in this photograph, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship that has withstood centuries. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling along its hallowed corridors or finding solace within its sacred spaces. This poster serves not only as an advertisement for tourism but also as an invitation for all who seek solace and inspiration amidst history's embrace. Preserved by the National Railway Museum (NRM), this print is more than just a piece of art; it is a window into our past—a reminder of the rich heritage that lies within our reach. It encourages us to explore beyond our everyday lives and embark on journeys that connect us with places steeped in cultural significance. Let this evocative image transport you back in time while igniting your curiosity about one of Britain's hidden gems – Whalley Abbey.
