EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Richmond, Yorkshire. Taken between 1948 and 1965, during the era of British Railways' North Eastern Region, this carriage print by Leonard R Squirrell showcases the enchanting beauty of this historic location. In the foreground, we are greeted by a charming old church that stands as a testament to centuries gone by. Its timeless architecture adds an air of tranquility to the scene. Beyond it, nestled amidst rolling hills and lush countryside, lies Richmond Castle—a majestic fortress steeped in history. The castle's imposing presence evokes tales of battles fought and won. The carriage depicted in this print perfectly complements its surroundings—elegant and refined against nature's backdrop. It invites us to imagine embarking on a leisurely journey through these idyllic landscapes while savoring every moment. The National Railway Museum has preserved this remarkable piece from their Pictorial Collection—an invaluable treasure for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the distant sound of train wheels churning along tracks that once connected communities across Britain. This photograph captures not only a specific place but also an essence—a glimpse into a bygone era when rail travel was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how railways played an integral role in shaping our nation's landscape and culture.
