EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling scene outside the Goods Shed CC80_00082, located at Christian Road Goods Station in Preston, Lancashire. The year is 1927, and delivery vehicles of all shapes and sizes line up alongside a wagon that is loaded with an intriguing assortment of objects. This depot was operated by Wyllie, Barr and Ross – a name synonymous with efficiency and reliability during this era. The image captures the essence of a thriving industrial hub as workers scurry about their tasks amidst stacks of crates and barrels. The sheer variety of goods being transported here is astounding; from wooden crates filled with delicate china to sturdy barrels containing who knows what treasures within. One can only imagine the stories behind each package - where they came from, where they are headed next. The depot itself stands tall in the background, its brick facade weathered by time but still exuding an air of importance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when commerce thrived on these very streets. It encapsulates not just the physicality of trade but also the spirit of enterprise that defined this period in history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the beauty found within everyday scenes such as these and our ability to glimpse into history through moments like these captured by Historic England's lens.
