EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1881 captures a significant moment in the history of London's transportation system: the commencing of works for the extension of the Inner Circle railway by the Lord Mayor of London. The scene is set at a bustling construction site, where workers in Victorian attire are busy at work, with wheelbarrows lined up and steam engines idling in the background. The Lord Mayor, dressed in his ceremonial robes and top hat, stands proudly at the forefront, holding a golden spade, ready to make the first symbolic dig. The Inner Circle railway, also known as the Metropolitan Railway, was a groundbreaking project that revolutionized London's transportation scene in the late 1800s. This extension was an important addition to the existing network, expanding the reach of the underground railway and making it more convenient for commuters to travel across the city. The photograph captures the sense of excitement and anticipation that surrounded the inauguration of this new extension. The ceremony was a significant event in London's social calendar, drawing large crowds of curious onlookers who gathered to witness history in the making. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the construction of London's iconic underground railway system during the Victorian era.
