Deposits of railway plans with the Board of Trade - the rush at the door, 1845
Deposits of railway plans with the Board of Trade - the rush at the door, 1845. The Legislature having, probably from an oversight, fixed the 30th of November as the last day for the reception of Railway plans, sections, &c. at the Board of Trade, many parties, pressed for time, left the completion of their work to the latest possible period, and, consequently, the vicinity of the office of the Board of Trade, on Sunday afternoon, presented a scene of excitement and bustle happily very unusual on the Sabbath...As the evening advanced, the arrivals became more frequent, and at nine o clock they poured down Whitehall [in London] most plentifully, and in the most deplorable disorder. Having disgorged their freights of parchment and paper, the cabs drew off, and the depositors exhibited unequivocal signs of joy at the triumphs they had secured. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Deposits of railway plans with the Board of Trade - the rush at the door, 1845" takes us back to a bustling scene in 19th century London. The image captures a moment of frenzied activity as individuals hurriedly submit their railway plans and sections to the Board of Trade before the deadline. The photographer skillfully portrays the chaos that ensues when numerous parties, pressed for time, converge on this important government office. As evening falls, an increasing number of people pour down Whitehall in disorderly fashion, their carriages unloading stacks of parchment and paper representing countless hours of work. Despite being an unusual sight on a Sunday afternoon, this scene is filled with palpable excitement and anticipation. The depositors' faces reveal signs of joy and triumph as they successfully complete their submissions. Their attire reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era – men wearing top hats and dressed in formal clothing. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into Victorian England but also highlights the significance placed on railway development during this period. It serves as a testament to both human ambition and technological progress as railways played a crucial role in transforming transportation systems across Britain. Preserved through time by Heritage Images, this print allows us to appreciate history's vibrant moments while reminding us how far we have come since those bustling days at the Board of Trade.
