EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Robertsbridge Station circa 1952, a snapshot of the southern end of the Kent & East Sussex Railway during its British Railways days. The focal point of this nostalgic scene is Terrier No. 32678, a charming steam locomotive proudly standing alongside a single coach. Its presence evokes memories of an era when steam railways were at their prime and served as lifelines for transportation across the country. The image captures the essence of Robertsbridge Station with remarkable clarity, showcasing its architectural beauty and historical significance. The station's distinctive features are highlighted against a backdrop that exudes tranquility and simplicity, transporting viewers to a bygone era where time seemed to move at a more leisurely pace. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph serves as both an important historical document and a testament to our enduring fascination with steam railways. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on how these magnificent machines shaped our past while also reminding us of their ongoing legacy in modern times. As we admire this remarkable piece from West Sussex County Council's archives, let us appreciate not only the technical marvels captured within but also pay homage to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep these trains running smoothly. This print stands as a tribute to all those involved in preserving our rich railway heritage for future generations to cherish and learn from.
