EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1910, capturing a picturesque scene at Mildenhall station. The image showcases the view from the foot of the signal box, providing a unique perspective overlooking the approaches to the station. In this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn towards an array of railway elements that bring life and movement to the frame. On the right-hand side stands a J&H Girling coal wagon from Peterborough, proudly displaying its origins. Alongside it are two Midland wagons, their cargo consisting of animal bones - perhaps destined for industrial or agricultural purposes. The goods shed in sight serves as a reminder of bustling activity and trade during this era. It is easy to imagine workers unloading and loading various goods onto waiting trains within its walls. As we explore further into this photograph's details, we can't help but notice a steam locomotive resting on one of the platforms nearby. Its presence adds an air of nostalgia and excitement to this already vibrant scene. Transportation plays a central role in connecting communities and fostering economic growth; this image encapsulates that sentiment perfectly. The tracks leading off into distant sidings hint at countless journeys yet to be taken by these reliable trains. Preserved within National Railway Museum's archives, this print offers us an opportunity to step back in time and appreciate both the beauty and functionality of early 20th-century railways.
