EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bury station, Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway in 1915. The image showcases the grand entrance to the station, adorned with a magnificent clock tower that stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a bustling railway scene. This historic site served as the former headquarters of East Lancashire Railway, symbolizing its significance within the region's transportation history. Tragically, on 14 May 1947, disaster struck when fire ravaged this iconic structure. However, resilience prevailed as it was rebuilt in June 1952, showcasing both determination and commitment towards preserving this architectural gem. For decades thereafter, Bury station continued to serve as a vital hub for commuters and travelers alike. However, progress eventually led to change. On 1 March 1980, Bury station closed its doors due to the opening of a new interchange station nearby—an inevitable consequence of modernization and evolving transport needs. Today, this remarkable photograph serves as an invaluable reminder of a bygone era—a testament to both human ingenuity and adaptability in face of adversity. Preserved within National Railway Museum's vast collection is an enduring tribute to Bury station's rich heritage—its role in connecting communities and facilitating journeys throughout time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, we are transported back to an era where steam engines roared through these very tracks—a nostalgic glimpse into our past that continues to captivate hearts and minds even today.
