EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1899, showcasing the intricate details of L&YR Low Moor Station's Booking Offices and Waiting Rooms. The image offers a glimpse into an era when train travel was at its peak, and stations were not only functional but also exuded elegance. The photograph focuses on specific elements within these spaces that were often overlooked - urinals, WCs, and fireplaces. These seemingly mundane features reveal the attention to detail paid by the architects and designers of this station. The composition highlights their craftsmanship as well as the commitment to providing comfort for travelers during their wait. The urinals are meticulously designed with ornate patterns adorning their surfaces, reflecting a sense of grandeur even in such utilitarian fixtures. Adjacent to them are lavatories or water closets (WCs), which boast intricate tile work and delicate porcelain fixtures - a testament to both functionality and aesthetics. Lastly, our eyes are drawn towards the fireplaces that grace these waiting rooms. In an era before central heating systems became commonplace, these hearths provided warmth during colder months while adding a touch of homeliness to the surroundings. This print serves as a reminder of how architecture can transform even ordinary spaces into works of art. It allows us to appreciate the beauty found in unexpected places while offering a nostalgic glimpse into railway history.
