EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this color photograph of Lostwithiel Station in Cornwall, taken in the 1970s. The image transports us to an era long past, when steam trains ruled the rails and travel by train was a leisurely and romantic experience. Lostwithiel Station, which opened in 1859, was once a bustling hub of activity, connecting the picturesque town of Lostwithiel with the rest of the country. In this photograph, we see the station's platforms and imposing red-brick buildings, adorned with ivy and age. The station's name sign, bearing the distinctive letters "Lostwithiel," stands proudly atop one of the buildings, while steam trains can be seen in the background, ready to depart or arrive at the platform. The station's clock tower, a familiar landmark for travelers, looms in the distance. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when the rhythm of the railway ruled the day. Lostwithiel Station closed its doors in 1964, a victim of the Beeching Axe, which saw the closure of thousands of stations across the country. Today, the station remains a cherished memory for those who remember the romance of steam travel, and a source of fascination for those who long to experience it firsthand. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the railways and the rich history they represent.
