EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of an Underground Station from 1928, as captured by the lens of an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library. The black-and-white photograph transports us to a bygone era, where the hustle and bustle of London's transport system is a familiar yet nostalgic sight. At the heart of the scene, a ticket inspector stands resolute behind the barrier, scanning the tickets of passengers as they make their way through the turnstiles. The serious expression on his face and the crisp uniform he wears are a testament to the importance of his role in the efficient operation of the Underground. The station itself is a symphony of details that speak to the rich history of Britain's rail transport system. A magazine and book stand sits to the right, offering passengers a moment of respite before continuing their journey. A Peters chocolate machine, a popular brand in the early 20th century, stands proudly nearby, its gleaming chrome exterior a beacon of sweet indulgence for those in need of a pick-me-up. A timetable and various tickets are scattered on the counter, adding to the sense of authenticity and the passage of time. The intricate design of the turnstile and the worn-out tiles on the platform floor further underscore the historical significance of this image. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of London's Underground system over 90 years ago. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of transport history and the stories that lie hidden within the walls of our cities.
