EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Edward Gooch, we are transported back to February 1868, witnessing the remarkable construction of St Pancras station in London. The image showcases the grandeur of the building's large vaulted roof, which has taken shape and now dominates the skyline. The architectural feature stands tall amidst a bustling construction site filled with industrious workers. A group of males can be seen working diligently on scaffolding, their tools in hand as they contribute to this monumental project. Their presence adds a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. As we observe this historic moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that St Pancras railway station is set to become an iconic landmark for rail transportation in England. The finance and effort invested into its creation speak volumes about its significance within the burgeoning railroad industry during this period. Edward Gooch's expert composition captures not only the physicality of the structure but also conveys a sense of ambition and progress prevalent during that era. This archival photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. With its horizontal format, every detail is meticulously preserved - from the intricate ceiling design down to each individual worker engrossed in conversation or focused on their tasks at hand. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past while appreciating how far we have come in shaping our built environment.
