EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Lancing, Southern Railway Schools Class, probably 1930s," is a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of steam trains and educational institutions. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a group of young boys proudly standing next to a Southern Railway Schools Class steam engine, likely located at Lancing in the 1930s. The boys, dressed in their smart uniforms, appear to be in high spirits as they pose for the camera, some with hands on the engine, others with curious expressions, and a few peering into the engine's cab. The steam engine, with its intricate design and powerful presence, dominates the scene, its chimney billowing out plumes of smoke, and its wheels turning steadily. The photograph offers a fascinating insight into the railway education system of the time, where children were taught various skills related to the railway industry. The boys in the photograph may have been learning about steam engines, mechanics, or even signaling. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, which preceded the 1930s, saw a significant expansion of the railway network, making railway education an essential part of the curriculum. This photograph is an excellent reminder of a bygone era, a time when steam engines were the backbone of transportation and education was closely tied to the industries that drove the economy. The image is a treasure trove of history, capturing the essence of a time when technology and education were intertwined, and the future of transportation was steaming ahead.
