EDITORS COMMENTS
Monday Morning Train to Town: A Scene of Departure at Brighton Station, July 1914 This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene on the platform of Brighton Station during the summer months of 1914. The image portrays the daily ritual of men leaving for work in London, while their wives and girlfriends remain behind in the seaside resort town. The train, a symbol of transportation and travel, is about to depart, carrying with it the working class men in their uniforms, ready to face another week in the city. The platform is filled with a sense of anticipation and sadness as the men bid farewell to their loved ones. A dog barks in the background, adding to the chaotic and lively atmosphere. The sound of a whistle pierces the air, signaling the imminent departure. The women, dressed in their Sunday best, watch as their men board the carriages, some offering a final kiss or wave. Brighton, a popular seaside resort, was a popular destination for day trips and vacations during this era. The train provided a vital link between the town and London, allowing commuters to travel to and from their places of work. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of transport and travel during this time, as well as the social dynamics of a bygone era. The scene at Brighton Station on this Monday morning in July 1914 is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and sacrifices made by families during this period. The image captures the bittersweet moment of departure, as the men leave behind their loved ones to return to their jobs in the city, while the women and children remain in the seaside town, eagerly awaiting their return.
