EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1940, amidst the turmoil of World War II. Here we find ourselves at Esher station on the Southern Railway in Surrey, a place that witnessed both ordinary commuters and extraordinary events during this tumultuous period. The image portrays an eerie atmosphere as we see the station name being blanked out, a poignant reminder of the constant threat posed by enemy invasion. In these uncertain times, it was crucial for authorities to take precautionary measures to protect their citizens and vital infrastructure. This photograph encapsulates one such measure taken by British authorities during wartime. By obscuring the station's name from view, they aimed to prevent potential invaders from gathering intelligence or targeting strategic locations. Yet despite this air of secrecy and tension, life continued at Esher station. Passengers would have hurriedly boarded trains bound for various destinations while soldiers may have bid farewell to loved ones before departing for battlefields far away. Today, this print serves as a powerful historical artifact preserved by the National Railway Museum. It not only captures a specific moment frozen in time but also symbolizes the resilience and determination displayed by communities throughout Britain during one of its darkest hours.
