EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to Churston Station, circa 1960. The image showcases a picturesque view of the station's platform, specifically designated for the branch line leading to Brixham. As our eyes wander through this snapshot of history, we are drawn to a diligent porter who can be seen meticulously sorting out cages on a card truck. It is presumed that these cages were used for transporting fish from the bustling harbor nearby. The charm and authenticity of this scene are further enhanced by the presence of an elegant railway Hotel situated towards the right side of the photograph. This establishment not only served as a place for weary travelers to rest their heads but also acted as a hub where stories were exchanged and connections forged. In this single frame frozen in time, we witness not just an ordinary train station but rather a vibrant microcosm teeming with life and activity. The nostalgia evoked by this image transports us back to an era when railways played an integral role in connecting communities and facilitating trade. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history captured on paper, it reminds us how vital preserving such moments is; allowing future generations to appreciate and understand our past while recognizing how far we have come since then.
