EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1968, offering a glimpse into the past at the disused Rowley Station near Consett, County Durham. From the vantage point of the signal box, we are transported to a rural scene filled with nostalgia and intrigue. The railway tracks stretch out before us, overgrown with weeds that have claimed their territory in this abandoned setting. The derelict station platform stands as a testament to its former glory days when bustling trains would arrive and depart, carrying passengers on their journeys. Now left untouched for years, it exudes an air of melancholy yet holds an undeniable beauty within its decay. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear echoes of train whistles and feel the excitement that once permeated these grounds. It serves as a reminder of how public transport played such an integral role in connecting communities during this era. Interestingly, after being dismantled brick by brick, Rowley Station found new life at Beamish Open Air Museum where it was painstakingly rebuilt. This photograph captures not only a moment from history but also symbolizes preservation and appreciation for our heritage. NCJ's skillful lens has immortalized this scene forever; allowing us to reflect upon the passage of time while marveling at the resilience of structures that hold stories within their walls.
