EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Preston Station of 1920. This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the North Union Railway, London North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire joint station in all its glory. Looking north from platform 5, one can't help but be transported to a world where steam trains ruled the tracks. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the charming footbridge that connects the platforms. Its intricate design stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. As you gaze upon it, you can almost imagine commuters hurrying across its sturdy structure to catch their trains. In addition to capturing architectural marvels, this snapshot also offers glimpses into daily life at Preston Station. A tobacconist's shop catches your eye with its inviting display of tobacco products and newspapers – a hub for travelers seeking some last-minute provisions before embarking on their journeys. This print serves as an invaluable historical artifact, preserving not only physical structures but also memories and stories associated with them. It reminds us of how vital railways were in connecting communities and facilitating trade during this period. Thanks to National Rail Museum's Imagination Works initiative, we are fortunate enough to witness these moments frozen in time. So take a moment yourself; let your imagination run wild as you immerse yourself in this scene from over a century ago.
