Halt Platform Small Station Staffordshire
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into the quaint and humble Baptist End Halt in Staffordshire. The image showcases the station's raised wooden platforms and simple shelters, which served as a vital connection point between Dudley and Old Hill during its operational years. Opening its doors in August 1905, this small station played an integral role in facilitating transportation for locals and visitors alike. As trains rolled in and out, passengers would step onto these sturdy wooden platforms, eagerly awaiting their next adventure or returning home after a long day's journey. The photograph encapsulates an era when train travel was at its peak, capturing both the charm and simplicity of Baptist End Halt. Although it may have been considered modest compared to grander stations of that time period, it held immense significance within its community. Sadly, like many other railway stations across Britain during this era of change, Baptist End Halt closed its doors for good in June 1964. However brief its existence may have been on the timeline of railway history, this print immortalizes a piece of Staffordshire's past - reminding us all of simpler times spent waiting patiently on those wooden platforms under those unassuming but protective shelters.
