EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1911, capturing a picturesque view of Ely from the station south signal box, gazing towards Cambridge. The scene is filled with fascinating details that transport us into the world of locomotives and railways. On the left side of the frame stands an impressive engine shed, emanating a sense of power and industry. Beyond it lies a steam locomotive resting on a 55ft turntable, ready for its next journey. This image truly showcases the magnificent machinery that once dominated our transportation systems. To balance out this bustling scene, we see a goods shed on the right side of the photograph. Its presence reminds us of the vital role these structures played in facilitating trade and commerce during that era. Intriguingly placed in the background is Ely Dock Junction signal box, adding depth to this historical snapshot. It serves as a reminder of how important communication and coordination were for ensuring smooth operations within railway networks. The sepia-toned hues lend an air of nostalgia to this remarkable image captured by Imagination Works at Ely Station. Preserved by National Railway Museum (NRM), it allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also understand how crucial railways were in shaping our modern world
