This print takes us back to the year 1911, capturing a picturesque scene in Ely. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn towards the Station South signal box, which stands tall and proud against the horizon. Looking southwards from this vantage point, we can see the enchanting city of Cambridge beckoning in the distance. To the left of our frame lies an engine shed, where mighty locomotives rest before embarking on their journeys. The steam billowing from these magnificent machines adds a touch of mystique to the atmosphere. Just beyond is a remarkable 55ft turntable, showcasing engineering prowess at its finest. On the right side of this bustling railway landscape stands a goods shed; its doors open wide as it awaits incoming freight that will soon be distributed across Ely and beyond. In the background looms Ely Dock Junction signal box – a testament to human ingenuity and control over these iron giants. Transport enthusiasts will find themselves immersed in nostalgia as they explore every intricate detail within this photograph. It serves as a reminder of how railways have shaped our world throughout history – connecting people, places, and ideas like never before. Displayed proudly by National Railway Museum's Imagination Works collection, this image invites us to step into yesteryear and witness firsthand the marvels of early 20th-century rail travel.
