EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Where Do You Want To Go?, 1922 - A Glimpse into the Romance of Modern Railways". This photo print, captured in 1922 by an unknown creator, takes us back to a time when train travel was at its peak. The image is extracted from 'The Romance of Modern Railways', a book written by T. W. Corbin, which beautifully depicted the allure and excitement of railway journeys during that era. Set against the backdrop of Acton Town underground station in London, this close-up shot showcases a bustling scene filled with people eagerly awaiting their departures. The departure board prominently displays various destinations on the Circle Line and District Line routes, offering travelers an array of choices for their adventures across Britain. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men dressed in old-fashioned attire engrossed in literature or engaged in conversation as they anticipate their next journey. The exterior setting reveals glimpses of other iconic stations such as Gloucester Road and South Kensington along with notable landmarks like Putney Bridge and Parsons Green. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail given to railway signage and timetables displayed throughout the station premises. This print not only captures a moment but also encapsulates the spirit of exploration and wanderlust that defined travel during the roaring twenties. Preserved by Seeley Service & Co. , Limited, this historical artifact offers viewers a nostalgic glimpse into early 20th-century British rail travel while inviting them to ponder their own desired destinations within this vast network of railways.
