EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the then new Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station in the 1960s, showcasing the bustling taxi rank outside. The station, a symbol of Britain's transport history, was renovated once again in 2002 to meet modern demands.
The image depicts a time when steam trains still chugged along the tracks and passengers hurriedly made their way to catch their next connection. The iconic tower and office block loom in the background, a reminder of the architectural style of that era.
The taxi rank is filled with classic cars from the 1960s, adding to the nostalgic charm of this snapshot in time. Passengers can be seen lugging suitcases and bags as they make their way towards awaiting cabs, eager to continue on their journey.
As one gazes at this photo print, it's easy to imagine what life was like during this period - a simpler time when train travel was king and stations were bustling hubs of activity. The renovation in 2002 may have brought about changes to accommodate modern technology and conveniences, but this image serves as a timeless reminder of Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station's rich history.
