EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in the history of Manchester's railway infrastructure. Taken in 1900, it showcases the ambitious project undertaken by L. &. N. W. R. (London and North Western Railway) to widen the existing footbridge at London Road Station and extend it all the way to Mayfield Station. The image reveals a meticulously detailed general plan that outlines not only the widening of the footbridge but also includes plans for station buildings and other related structures. It is fascinating to witness how meticulous planning was carried out even over a century ago. The photograph exudes an air of grandeur as one can imagine engineers, architects, and workers collaborating tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The intricate details within this snapshot provide insight into the level of craftsmanship involved in such projects during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of Network Rail's commitment to preserving our rich railway heritage while ensuring modern safety standards are met. This image serves as a testament to their dedication in maintaining and improving our rail network for future generations. It is important to note that this print should not be used for commercial purposes due to copyright restrictions; however, its value lies in its ability to transport us back in time and appreciate both the engineering marvels achieved then and those being accomplished today by Network Rail.
