EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Opening of the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print captures the excitement and grandeur surrounding the inauguration of this remarkable railway. The scene depicted showcases Braestones Station, situated along the picturesque coastline of Whitehaven Bay in Cumbria. The composition beautifully incorporates elements of topography, with St Bees Priory Church and St Bees College visible in the background. The coastal setting adds a touch of maritime charm to this historic event. As we delve into this image, we can almost feel the anticipation that filled the air on that memorable day. The railway's opening marked a milestone in transportation infrastructure, connecting communities and facilitating trade between Whitehaven and Furness Junction. This engraving was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on November 9th, 1850 – a testament to its significance at that time. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork serves as a window into our past. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also celebrating our rich cultural heritage. Let it transport you back to an era where steam trains ruled these tracks and imagine being part of that historical moment when progress met natural beauty along Cumbria's enchanting coastlines.
