EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling concourse of Waterloo Station, Lambeth, London in 1960. This print captures the essence of a bygone era, where passengers eagerly await their trains amidst the festive cheer. The scene is adorned with enchanting Christmas decorations that bring warmth and joy to this busy transportation hub. A magnificent Christmas tree stands tall, its twinkling lights reflecting off the polished floors. Passengers can be seen patiently waiting on benches or strolling up and down, perhaps searching for last-minute gifts from the bookstall nearby. This architectural marvel showcases the grandeur of 20th-century design with its sturdy girders supporting an impressive roof structure. The interior exudes a sense of history and importance as it was under the jurisdiction of both Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC). As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when train travel was at its peak. The station's charm lies not only in its functional purpose but also in being witness to moments shared between loved ones during the holiday season. This photograph from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery offers us a glimpse into an unknown moment frozen in time – a testament to our rich heritage and cultural identity.
