The railway’s arrival, with its pretty station by Joseph Mitchell (fig 23),469 necessitated a new service sector to deal with an influx of visitors who used the new link to explore a previously inaccessible part of the country. Among early visitors were the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1866, followed by Queen Victoria in 1872.
