EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1963, capturing a significant moment in the history of Sheffield Midland Station. Underbridge no. 57 stands proudly, showcasing its architectural brilliance and serving as a testament to the engineering marvels of that era. The focus of this image lies on the central portion of Sheaf Culvert, an essential structure that played a crucial role in maintaining efficient water flow beneath the station. The survey conducted during this time aimed to assess and document various sections of arches within the culvert. As we gaze at this black-and-white snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the intricate details meticulously captured by Network Rail's lens. The play of light and shadows highlights every curve and contour, emphasizing both strength and elegance. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also sparks curiosity about how such infrastructure was built without modern technology. It reminds us of our predecessors' dedication to creating enduring structures that would stand for generations. While it is unclear what purpose this particular image served for Network Rail beyond documentation, its historical significance cannot be understated. It offers us a glimpse into Sheffield Midland Station's past—a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid long ago.
