EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1911, capturing a picturesque view of Mildenhall. The image showcases the serene beauty of this quaint railway station with its signal box and goods shed in the background. As we gaze upon this historic scene, our eyes are drawn to the single running line that stretches across the right foreground. The well-filled yard beyond the shed exudes a sense of bustling activity, while our imagination runs wild picturing all sorts of goods being transported and unloaded here. The goods office nestled within the shed catches our attention with its own stepped access, adding an element of charm to this industrial setting. One cannot help but notice a GER high-sided wagon prominently featured in this photograph. However, what truly captures one's curiosity is its unusual cargo - animal carcasses neatly stacked inside. This unexpected sight serves as a reminder of how different transportation methods were in those times. Preserved by National Railway Museum, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when steam locomotives ruled supreme and trains were essential for transporting both people and goods across vast distances. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects of railways but also their impact on local communities like Mildenhall. As we delve into history through this image, let it transport us back in time and ignite our fascination for these incredible feats of engineering that shaped nations and connected people from all walks of life.
