EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The signals point at stop at the disused station at Blackhill, near Consett" takes us back to a bygone era of transportation. The image captures the desolate beauty of an abandoned railway station in winter, blanketed in a pristine layer of snow. It serves as a poignant reminder of the once bustling rail link that connected this town to the sea. In this frozen moment from February 4th, 1965, we are transported back to an age when trains were the lifeblood of public transport. The weathered signals stand tall against the wintry backdrop, their arms pointing resolutely towards "stop" forever halting any further journeys along these tracks. As we gaze upon this scene, our imagination runs wild with stories and memories that have long since faded away. We can almost hear the distant echo of steam engines and feel the anticipation that filled these platforms during their heyday. Through NCJ's lens, we are reminded of how quickly progress can render even essential infrastructure obsolete. Yet there is also a sense of nostalgia and reverence for what once was—a time when railways were more than just means of transportation; they were symbols of connection and possibility. This evocative photograph invites us to reflect on our own journeys through time and space while appreciating both the resilience and transience inherent in our built environment.
