EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph from the 19th century transports us back in time to witness a grand vision that never came to fruition. The image showcases the proposed entrance to the Grand Junction Railway terminal on Skinner Street in London. Designed by engineer George Remington Jr. , this ambitious railway was intended to connect Camden Town with the heart of the city. Intriguingly, amidst this architectural marvel stands an omnibus – a horse-drawn vehicle that once dominated road transport in England during this era. It serves as a reminder of how transportation methods have evolved over time. The scene is set against a backdrop of historic buildings and a charming church tower, reflecting both Britain's rich architectural heritage and its deep-rooted Christian traditions. People can be seen bustling about outside the station entrance, adding life and movement to this snapshot of history. Although various prints were created in an attempt to attract subscriptions for this visionary project, sadly it was never built. Nevertheless, through this lithograph preserved at Guildhall Library Art Gallery today, we are granted a glimpse into what could have been - an alternate reality where train tracks replaced roads as London's primary mode of transportation.
