EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment as the first train pulls into Birmingham Curzon Street Railway Station on September 17, 1838. The entrance to the station, adorned with intricate architectural details and ornate ironwork, stands proudly as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the London & North Western Railway (L&NWR) company. The train, a marvel of 19th-century engineering, is seen making its grand entrance into the bustling city of Birmingham, marking a new era in transportation. The crowd gathered at the platform, dressed in fashionable attire of the 1830s, eagerly await the arrival of the train, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. The steam engine, belching out plumes of smoke, adds to the sense of energy and anticipation in the air. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Pharcide, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to witness this significant moment in the history of rail transport in Britain.
