EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic moment of "The removal of the old Forest Hall Railway Station on 11th March 1964". The view captured in this image is looking south, revealing a hill of debris that once housed the ticket office and waiting rooms of the southbound platforms. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a level crossing where a small group of people can be seen, perhaps witnessing this significant event unfold. Intriguingly, standing tall amidst the rubble is a signal box which now only operates the gates. However, it won't be long before both gates and box will vanish as plans for constructing a new bridge are underway. This photograph serves as an invaluable time capsule showcasing not just the physical transformation but also highlighting how public transport has evolved over time. Trucks scattered around hint at the immense task ahead - clearing away remnants from what was once an integral part of daily journeys for countless individuals during the 1960s. The tracks and rails leading into oblivion remind us of trains that would no longer pass through this station. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our very eyes - reminding us how progress shapes our world while preserving memories etched within these stations' walls.
