The Great Railway Clearing House: A Glimpse into the Meticulous World of Ticket Sorting Step back in time to the bustling 1920s, where an extraordinary sight unfolds within the hallowed halls of The Great Railway Clearing House. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a remarkable scene that unveils the hidden world behind millions of used railway tickets. Every year, these tiny pieces of paper, remnants of countless journeys taken by passengers across all major railway companies, find their way into the tidiest department at The Great Railway Clearing House. Here, a dedicated team of diligent women meticulously sort through this vast sea of tickets with utmost precision and care. Their nimble fingers deftly stamp and examine each ticket before crediting the respective railway companies. However, some tickets bear evidence of numerous junctions they have passed through - clipped so many times that interpretation becomes an arduous task for even these skilled professionals. This snapshot captures not just a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to the tireless efforts put forth by these unsung heroes who ensure smooth operations within our intricate rail network. Their dedication and attention to detail play an integral role in maintaining order amidst chaos. Join us on September 17th, 1927 as we delve deep into this mesmerizing realm where industry meets artistry; where women shape history one ticket at a time.
