EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Glasgow Central station on a summer day in 1956. The image beautifully captures the essence of this iconic Scottish railway hub during the mid-20th century. In the foreground, we see a charming old-fashioned kiosk operated by Menzies, a renowned newsagent brand of that era. The shelves are adorned with an array of magazines and newspapers, including the ever-popular Radio Times. This snapshot offers a glimpse into how people sought entertainment and information before the digital age. The clock hanging above the kiosk serves as a timeless symbol, reminding travelers to keep track of their departure times amidst all the hustle and bustle. Its hands point towards noon, indicating that it's lunchtime for many commuters passing through. Behind the kiosk lies an expansive railway platform filled with passengers eagerly awaiting their trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. The atmosphere is alive with anticipation and excitement as people scurry about, luggage in hand. Glasgow Central station itself stands tall in its grandeur, exuding architectural elegance synonymous with train stations from that era. It has witnessed countless journeys over decades and continues to be an integral part of Scotland's rail network today. This evocative photograph from Memory Lane Prints transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and everyday moments within this vibrant transportation hub.
