EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on June 28th, 1855, showcasing the construction of The Viaduct in Durham. In the background, the city of Durham and its iconic cathedral can be seen, adding a sense of grandeur to the scene. The railway stretching into the distance adds a touch of movement and progress to this otherwise still image.
The details written at the bottom of the support - 'The Viaduct Durham / June 28 1855' and 'HH' - provide insight into the significance of this momentous occasion. Additionally, a heartfelt message from E.M.Kenley dated Christmas 1955 adds a personal touch to this historical artifact.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness an important milestone in transportation history. The intricate ironwork and architectural marvel that is The Viaduct stand as testaments to human ingenuity and perseverance.
This print serves as both a visual delight and a valuable piece of historical documentation. It reminds us of how far we have come while also honoring those who contributed to shaping our modern world.
