EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Henry How, we are transported back to the bustling platform of Horsted Keynes station in August 1960. The image captures a moment filled with anticipation as crowds eagerly await the arrival of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway locomotive No. 55 "Stepney", which is making its way from Sheffield Park along the Bluebell Line. The platform is teeming with passengers, their faces alive with excitement and curiosity. Men in smart suits and hats stand alongside women adorned in elegant dresses and fashionable accessories of the era. Children can be seen peering through gaps between adults' legs, their eyes wide with wonder at the approaching train. The atmosphere on this historic day is palpable; there is an undeniable sense of community as people gather together to witness this remarkable event. The rhythmic chugging sound of the steam engine grows louder, creating a symphony that resonates throughout the station. This photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of how rail travel was once an integral part of our lives. It transports us back to an era when stations were vibrant hubs connecting people from all walks of life. Henry How's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history – one that encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for human ingenuity.
