1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Wood Green and Alexandra Park Station, London, circa 1905 This marvellous postcard, captured circa 1905, offers a captivating bird's-eye view of Wood Green and Alexandra Park Station in London. Now known as Alexandra Palace Railway Station, this historic site was once a bustling hub of transport activity. The image showcases the intricate network of railway tracks that crisscross the scene, with trains and locomotives making their way between the platforms. The Great Eastern Railway (GER) line, a major transport provider in London during this era, is evident in the overhead bridge and the distinctive GER signalling and signals. The steam-powered engines, with their large, puffing stacks, epitomize the industrial might and innovation of the time. The platforms, surrounded by lush greenery, provide a stark contrast to the industrial setting, offering a sense of respite for weary travellers. The wooden carriage, parked on the platform, adds a personal touch to the scene, reminding us of the countless journeys that began and ended here. The overhead bridge and walkway, connecting the station to Alexandra Park, invite exploration and adventure. Alexandra Park itself, with its grand palace and sprawling greenery, can be seen in the background, offering a picturesque backdrop to the railway station. This postcard is a testament to the rich history of transportation in London and the enduring charm of a bygone era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of transport and the indelible mark it has left on the city's history.
