Description

Fine piece of Edwardian era railway memorabilia here in the shape of this large coat of arms for the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway. Colour transfer laid onto a solid mahogany shield shaped panel. Design is in excellent condition, a few knocks to the timber.
The Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway Co. was created in 1845 to create a vital link (the South Junction) between the lines from Liverpool which terminated at Ordsall Lane in Salford and lines approaching from the East which ended at London Rd (now Manchester Piccadilly). The resulting line was a triumph of Victorian engineering, a mile and a half long viaduct skirting the Southern side of the city, crossing canals and streets and creating Manchester Oxford Rd Station, which became the company’s headquarters. The company ran it’s own carriages along a branch line which left the South Junction at the Castlefield canal basin and followed the Bridgewater Canal South to Altrincham and Bowdon.
Dimensions: width 19″, height 19″.
