EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Nottingham Station in 1964. Captured by the talented photographer Rex Wailes, it showcases a general view of the platform and covered goods area for the Midland Railway station. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the impressive Goods Shed, standing tall as a testament to Nottingham's thriving railway industry. The Goods Shed dominates the scene with its grand architecture and imposing presence. Its sturdy brick walls and large windows evoke a sense of strength and purpose, reflecting an era when railways were at their peak. This structure served as a vital hub for transporting goods across the country, connecting businesses far and wide. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the echoes of trains arriving and departing, accompanied by busy workers loading crates onto wagons. It offers us a glimpse into an era where steam locomotives ruled supreme, carrying not only passengers but also essential supplies that fueled economic growth. Rex Wailes' expert composition captures both the functionality and beauty of this industrial setting. Through his lens, he immortalizes an important part of Nottingham's heritage - one that tells stories of trade routes established through rail connections. This print serves as a reminder of how transportation systems have shaped our cities throughout time while honoring those who built them with unwavering dedication.
