EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to 1910, capturing a picturesque scene at Mildenhall's terminal station. The focal point of the image is the impressive goods shed, standing tall and sturdy in the center. Its red brick walls exude a sense of strength and reliability. To the left of the goods shed, a delightful border of roses adds a touch of natural beauty to this industrial setting. Their vibrant colors create a striking contrast against the backdrop of trains and tracks. On the right side, we catch sight of an enormous 50ft turntable next to an old-fashioned signal box. This mechanical marvel allowed locomotives to change direction effortlessly, ensuring smooth operations at this bustling railway hub. Behind the platform lies an end loading dock where wagons were loaded and unloaded with precision and efficiency. Adjacent to it are timber cattle pens, serving as temporary homes for livestock awaiting transportation. The sepia tones give this photograph an air of nostalgia, transporting us back in time when steam locomotives ruled these tracks. It serves as a reminder that railways were not just means of transport but also symbols of progress and connectivity during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let's appreciate how imagination works alongside engineering marvels like those captured here - forever preserved within the archives at National Railway Museum.
