EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Travelling on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, 1831" takes us back to a significant moment in transportation history. Captured by SG Hughes in 1945, this image showcases the steam locomotives that were an integral part of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (L&MR) since its opening in 1830. At the forefront of this scene is the majestic locomotive Jupiter, proudly pulling first-class covered carriages and a mail coach. Behind it, we see another powerful engine named North Star hauling open-topped second-class carriages. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from British Railways' past. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate how this photograph offers a glimpse into early public transport systems in England during the 19th century. It not only highlights the technological advancements achieved by George Stephenson, L&MR's chief engineer but also provides insight into social history and travel experiences of that era. The presence of passengers aboard these trains reminds us that railways played a crucial role in connecting people across vast distances within Britain. This image captures both the excitement and convenience brought about by rail travel during this time period. As we admire this remarkable print from Arthur Elton's book "British Railways" let us reflect on how far we have come since then while appreciating our rich railway heritage.
