EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the young and radiant Mabel Kitson, the second Railway Queen, is seen at her crowning ceremony during the Railway Carnival in Manchester on the 24th of September 1927. Mabel, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was surrounded by her devoted attendants, all dressed in elegant attire, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. Mabel's humble beginnings were in Colwall, nestled on the edge of the Malvern Hills, where her father worked as a signalman for the Great Western Railway (GWR). Her unexpected rise to the throne of the Railway Queen began when she was discovered by railway officials during a local pageant, impressing them with her beauty and poise. This once-in-a-lifetime experience provided Mabel with an unforgettable memory and a unique connection to the railway community. The Railway Carnival was an annual event organized by the railway companies to showcase their achievements and to entertain the public. The event was a grand spectacle, filled with parades, competitions, and various forms of entertainment. Mabel's reign as Railway Queen marked the beginning of a new era, symbolizing the spirit of excitement and innovation that was synonymous with the railway industry during the 1920s.
