EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1924, we find the official rat catcher of the Southern Railway at work, surrounded by his loyal terriers and their quarry. The rat catcher, dressed in a smart, official-looking coat and hat, exudes a sense of determination and success as he stands amidst the pile of dead rats. His two terriers, their coats glistening with sweat and dirt, gaze intently at the ground, their noses twitching in anticipation of the next pest to be discovered. The railway system was a breeding ground for rats and other vermin, with the vast network of tunnels and tracks providing ample shelter and food sources. The presence of these pests posed a significant threat to both the railway infrastructure and the health of passengers. Therefore, the role of the rat catcher was a crucial one, requiring a high level of skill, dedication, and expertise. The rat catcher's tools of the trade are on full display in this image. A large cage is visible in the foreground, ready to be used to transport the captured rats away from the railway. The rat catcher's ferret, a small, agile predator often used for rat hunting, is coiled up at his feet, waiting for its next opportunity to strike. Despite the gruesome nature of his work, the rat catcher's importance to the Southern Railway was undeniable. His tireless efforts helped to keep the railway free from the destructive and disease-carrying pests that threatened to undermine the safety and efficiency of the system. With his loyal terriers by his side, he was a formidable force against the rat population, ensuring that the Southern Railway could continue to operate smoothly and safely for passengers and staff alike.
