EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque town of Craven Arms and Stokesay Station in Shropshire during the 1950s. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic railway station, showcasing its charming station buildings adorned with ornate awnings that add a touch of elegance to the scene. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the impressive footbridge, which gracefully spans across the tracks, connecting both platforms. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess and serves as a reminder of how crucial railways were for transportation during that era. As we delve into its history, we learn that Craven Arms and Stokesay Station first opened its doors in 1852.

Today, this station remains an integral part of the local community, providing essential transport links for residents and visitors alike. This evocative snapshot invites us to imagine what life was like in mid-century Shropshire when steam trains chugged along these very tracks.
