EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) at Horley station. Taken in 1903, it showcases the meticulous alterations made to old buildings to accommodate the needs of both the head porter and Station Master. The image transports us back to an era when railway stations were not just bustling hubs for transportation but also thriving communities within themselves. The LB&SCR recognized the importance of providing suitable dwellings for their staff, ensuring their comfort and convenience while serving passengers. In this particular photograph, we witness a remarkable transformation taking place. The skilled craftsmen employed by the railway company have carefully modified existing structures, breathing new life into them. These alterations not only provide additional accommodation for the Station Master but also create a cozy dwelling for the head porter. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how these architectural changes seamlessly blend with Horley station's original design. It is evident that great care has been taken to preserve its unique character while adapting it to meet modern requirements. This print serves as a testament to Network Rail's commitment to preserving our rich railway heritage. It reminds us of how even small details like housing arrangements played an essential role in creating harmonious working environments within these iconic stations along Britain's rail network.
