Railway Station c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was only a few years old, when we moved into White Lodge, the station house, as shown in the picture, I loved the sound of the trains stopping & starting at the platforms, the house used to shake, it was certainly a novelty, our family consisted of 4 siblings, & mum & Dad, & we lived there for 45 years. Mum complained when the trains went from Steam to Diesel, that her net curtains, needed more frequent cleaning, from the diesel fumes, when windows were opened. It was a very special moment, when the train carrying Winston Churchill's coffin past through.
